We’re just a few hours from Piacenza’s first outing of the season: At 6.30pm Zlatanov and co will take on the rival that beat them in the league final last season, Trentino. Still, this will not exactly be a remake as Vettori, Le Roux and Kaliberda are missing for Piacenza, while Trento will not be able to line-up Birarelli, Lanza and Sokolov.

“After four weeks of work in which we never managed to play 6 on 6, this game is extremely motivating – said coach Luca Monti – This will help us understand where we’re up to. Most of the players were there last year but we’ll be able to insert the newcomers. I am very curious to see Husaj”.
