Two games coming up for the Italian champions, first on Wednesday home against Padova and then Ravenna in the weekend.

“A very tough period starts this week – said Serbian middle blocker Dragan Stankovic – We got off to a good start this season, the Super Cup triumph gave us some confidence, as well as the nice come-back win over Verona in the first round. The fact we were rested yesterday helped us to recharge our batteries and we’re ready to face this period in which we’ll face one game after another in quick succession”.
