Piacenza earned a 3-0 win in the league against Molfetta last weekend, which is something that had been missing for a while. And now they have no choice but take another three points against Lugano in the Champions League to keep their hopes of qualification alive. Nothing impossible as Piacenza has come alive since the addition of outside hitter Poey, who scored 45 points in his last two games.

“I am confident – said coach Radici – I see the group is pulling together. The boys are working hard even if we haven’t got much time to train. This means we will have to train while playing official games. This is our goal, take games as if they were training sessions”.
