Facing Siena

The third day of the A2 championship ends tomorrow, at 8pm, at the Pala de Andrè with the postponement between Consar Ravenna and Emma Villas Siena. Two teams that have started very well against each other, having both obtained two victories in the first two matches. The point less for Graziosi’s team, former coach of Ravenna in 2018/19, is due to the tie-break won in a comeback in Pineto, from where Gabriele Nelli took home the ball after having written 39 points on the scoreboard. Limiting the opposite of Siena, which dropped to A2 after having won a scudetto and a Champions League with Trento in the last two years, is one of the keys that Consar will have to use to try to achieve the hat trick. “Nelli is a very strong player, who I have known for many years and who I have also coached – highlights Consar coach Antonio Valentini -. He is one of those who can make the difference, as happened in the last match in Pineto, where he was impressive, very good in the ball-changing phases. We have to be good at accepting his blows at times, but we also have to be aware that we are facing a high-level team, built for an important objective, which is to win the championship.”
In light of the results achieved on Sunday, it seems clear that whoever wins tomorrow goes to the top of the table: Consar can stay there, even alone if they are able to impose themselves from three, the Tuscan team can return there, conquering the Pala de Andrè again from three , would reach Cuneo at 8. For the very young team from Ravenna this is the first maturity test of the season.
