Cucine Lube Civitanova returned to work this morning in the weight room, while in the afternoon they will face a first technical session on the Eurosuole Forum field. The objective is to quickly forget the Modena slip-up, which is the first defeat of 2025 and the only one in the last ten seasonal matches in all competitions. There are two very important home matches on the horizon, the first leg of the Semi-final of the Challenge Cup against the Turks of SK Ankara, a match scheduled for Thursday 13 February (8.30pm with live DAZN and Radio Arancia) and the face-to-face match of the 9th return round of the Regular Season against Gioiella Prisma Taranto, scheduled for Sunday 16 February (8.30pm with live Rai Sports, VBTV and Radio Orange). Coach Giampaolo Medei, holder of the CEV Cup won last year at the reins of Asseco Resovia, wants to reach the last step of the Challenge Cup and secure third place in the SuperLega.
Balaso:
“The empty lap in Modena left a bad taste in our mouths, but it was instructive and will help us grow further. From a broader perspective, I am very satisfied with what we are doing. Now we have to start again with the right head to face a tough period in the best possible way with tough matches and a busy calendar. We won’t make many calculations, even if we need to defend third place in the championship, but we will be focused on the individual matches, starting from the next one. We shouldn’t underestimate Ankara because it boasts experienced players on the roster!”.
