Verona has won against Taviano for 3-1 in front of more than 2500 people last night for the playoffs semifinals.
Spiker Mario Canzanella comments: “Our mind is already projected to match 2 in Lecce, it will be a real battle where we will try and make the result to go to the final.
We have had 5 minuted of distraction in the third set, allowing them to make a positive series at serving which made them win it.
Taviano is a good team that deserved to be in this semifinal, we put the right mix of players on court, supported by many supporters, a real adrenalist kick.
Forli could be the other finalist, Crema has given them a hard time though winning the first set. I think the challenge will be open given Crema does always well at home.
I am confident about us, we are working well together and we give our best everytime we train using our blocking-digging as a weapon which helped us win through the season. In Taviano we will have to continue with that and keep Chocholak at bay, also be very patient and take advantage of every chance we have. It will be a different match from the one you have seen at PalaOlimpia with Stilcasa wanting revenge trying to serve well to make is hard for us and looking for higher percentages in attack.
The guys on the bench are always supporting the ones on court. Bellei has done great at serving yesterday and Janic too, Botti did great at blocking putting his technique on court but also the determination of an eighteen years old.
Coach Giuliani is a very funny guy and he passed that on to the team. He has given the team the right boost, offering patience as a new approach to the matches. Even after losing match 2 against Isernia he has invited us to think about the next round straight away with great calm.
The championship has been filed now and all our work is on these playoffs, obtaining the top league now would be even more beautiful. We have been after that since last august”.
