This afternoon Emma Villas Siena immediately returned to training in view of the next championship day. There is no time to catch your breath because on Sunday, starting at 5.30 pm, the team trained by coach Gianluca Graziosi will challenge Ma Acqua San Bernardo Cuneo at home, at the PalaEstra. That is to say one of the favorite teams to win the A2 series championship and achieve promotion to the Super League. The match will be valid for the sixth day of the A2 tournament.
The midweek round was not positive for either the Sienese or the Piedmontese. In fact, Cuneo lost at home, in a tiebreak, against Reggio Emilia while Emma Villas lost 3-0 in the Macerata sports hall. The Tuscans had set points in both the second and third sets, but were unable to exploit them. Both partials, which were decided by the advantages, were in fact won by the hosts from the Marche region.
The ranking sees Cuneo in fourth position with 10 points under its belt, and a record so far of three victories and two defeats. Siena is eleventh with 6 points. “In the second and third sets we had set points but we were not clear and capable of closing them – commented the vice-president of Emma Villas Siena, Fabio Mechini. – The feeling at this moment is that of having strong and objective difficulties. The credit goes to Macerata, who won this match, and who did better than us at blocking, they were more aggressive than us in the various fundamentals.
