On December 26, there will be the derby against Santa Croce, who brought in two top players this summer : setter Valerio Vermiglio and Cuban outside hitter Fulvio Bertini. They began the return games with two wins over Ortona and Potenza Picena before falling 3-1 in Castellana Grotte in the last round. Santa Croce is fifth.
« We keep thinking one game at a time – said coach Paolo Tofoli – We’re enjoying this first place but we have to stay focused on what’s coming next. We’ll face a very tricky game against Santa Croce and the cup semis right after. We will do everything possible to be physically ready ».
