On his first season at the helm of the Padova first team, Valerio Baldovin has definitely proved he was up to the task. After the A2 cup, Padova will play some kind of second final on Sunday against the same team, Monza.

“We all know this is a top team – said coach Baldovin – Their middle blockers are very strong, both in attack and blocking. But this is a team with quality in every area. We need to be serene, focused on the game. The key might be as simple as that. We’ll just have to wait and see what happens on court and who goes up”.
