Modena has just defeated Trento but it is already facing another big game. Indeed, next Saturday (4.30pm), they will play host to Zlatanov, Marshall and co, from Piacenza.

“Since I left Trento I had never beaten them – said middleblocker Wytze Kooistra – Piacenza? Very strong team, one that aims for the league title, but we’ll try to get some points. We have what it takes to try to win it. It’s very exciting this year at the PalaPanini gym, every Sunday there is more and more people coming: we can see it and we give 110%”.

Meanhwile, tomorrow, Modena will play a friendly against Cavriago (A2) at 5pm at home.
