They say good luck is blind, but bad luck can see clearly and this year it looks like it is targeting Codyeco Lupi.
Santacroce, already without Subiela busy in the World Cup and with Fabbiani and Lukianetz still not 100% after the long term injuries, are forced to give up on Francesco Mattioli too, due to a back problem, without thinking about Lirutti half there who had to leave in the third set.
These are certainly no excuses for the sharp defeat agaist a great Premier Hotels Crema (despite Caprotti’s absence and Jankovic used as a libero), but it shows how difficult it is for Burattini to work at building a coral game.
the first set was the vital one: under for 0-15, the “wolves” managed to get to 24-23 turning into a great show up to 34-34 then losing 36-34.
Nothing to do in the following two sets.
Now the imperative is not to lose it and try to recover the injured facing a very difficult match in Vibo Valentia where we hope that luck will look our way too.
