Cucine Lube Civitanova is literally dominating this Unipolsai Superleague, and the season in general.
After the win in the Del Monte® Italian Cup and the good performances in Champions League, Lube defeated with authority Sir Safety Conad Perugia at PalaEvangelisti, showing a big display of power in this part of the season. Gianlorenzo Belengini’s team will face Bunge Ravenna at EurosuoleForum in Civitanova, Ravenna who’s coming from an important win at Pala De Andrè versus Gi Group Monza. Ravenna will face three former players as Enrico Cester, Antonio Corvetta and Kelen Cebulj. In 22 games between these two teams Lube won 15 times.

Dragan Stankovic (Cucine Lube Civitanova): “The match versus Ravenna is important, they will com ehere to play their game, we don’t have to forget that in the previous game of the season we won at the tie break. We don’t have to think about our last wins and trophies, we have to be focus on Bunge, without thinking in exemple to next ae versus Diatec Trentino. Step by step, ready for wednesday”.
Marco Bonitta (direttore generale Bunge Ravenna): “We will play this tough game without pressure – DG Marco Bonitta said – facing some top class players like Christenson, Juantorena, Sokolov and Stankovic. We will also have the pleasure to play against some of our former players like Cebulj, Corvetta and Cester. We are coming from a great win versus Gi Group Monza, the guys won this no tomorrow game, with consistence and maturity. It was a great win in front of a huge and enthusiastic crowd, who answered with enthusiasm to our campains in the schools of the county, in the volleyball clubs and in the friendly match versus Olimpia CMC last 28th january. We will do it again, opening our activities to some other realities in the city, starting from next home match versus Piacenza”.
