General manager Beppe Cormio returns to speak after the fourth place at the Club World Championship in Brazil for Cucine Lube Civitanova, which landed in Rome Fiumicino this morning after a stopover in San Paolo. An endless journey arm in arm with Itas Trentino, present on both flights. The general director Cuciniero clearly expressed regret for having missed out on the podium due to the advantages of the tie break at Uberlandia, also admitting a bit of apprehension for the step backwards of a team that before leaving Italy had given tangible evidence of great technical and mental maturation, especially in the last challenges of the Regular Season.
Beppe Cormio: “The placement leaves a bad taste in the mouth for having lost two games on tie break like that against a good Iranian team that we could however have beaten. It is the steps backwards in the game and the loss of certainties that constitute an alarm bell. We have lost our level and this worries us because we must immediately return to our standards and many close races await us. The amount of wrong services in Uberlandia? I wouldn’t get stuck on this, there are excellent hitters in the group and we have shown that we know how to exploit them by defeating Modena, Piacenza and Trento itself in the championship with this fundamental. An irrefutable fact is that we have always struggled away from home. It must also be said that circular arenas like the Sabiazinho Arena do not provide points of reference, but this also applies to the opponents. I am convinced that returning to train with a certain frequency in our arena will help us regain our playing solidity.
