Top Volley Latina is playing some good volleyball in this second part of the season. Will not be an easy game, the next one, for Daniele Bagnoli’s team. Latina will face Sir Safety Conad Perugia, facing former players became superstars as Luciano De Cecco and Ivan Zaytsev. Perugia suffered a tie break loss in Champions League, in Belgium versus Knack Roeselare, but without De Cecco, Atanasijevic and Zaytsev. Will be difficoult for home team Top Volley Latina to grab a win versus powerhouse Erugia, but with the help of the warm audience of Latina, something amazing can happens, for the home team.

Yuki Ishikawa (Top Volley Latina): “It will be a very important game. Perugia is a strong team, but if we play at our best, we can do something good. Alot of japanese fans will be there, also my japanese coach will be here.I started my season here in december, it was difficoult to get into the locker room, but now we are all fine, there is great atmosphere with coach and teammates”.
Aleksandar Atanasijevic (Sir Safety Conad Perugia): “Will be a tough game on sunday in Latina. they are fighting to reach the playoffs and in last game they won clearly in Padova. We saw last sunday versus Monza, that if we don’t play at 100%, we are in trouble, risking to lose points or games. Now we are fine, me and De Cocco did not traveled to Belgium, having some rest. We have to help the teammates, we have to push and come back home with a win”.
