Rest weekend for Gas Sales Bluenergy Piacenza which will return to the gym on Monday 12 September to start the fifth week of pre-season preparation 2022-2023. And from Monday to work also Robertlandy Simon who is added to Luka Basic, Enrico Cester, Edoardo Caneschi, Nicolò Hoffer, Fabrizio Gironi and Freek de Weijer. Differentiated work for the Cuban central Roamy Raul Alonso Arce to better recover from the knee problem that prevented him from participating with his national team at the World Cup.
The balance of these four weeks of work is done by coach Lorenzo Bernardi.
“I am satisfied – underlines the coach – of how things are progressing, I have found great responsibility and self-denial on the part of the players, it is never easy to work with a limited number of players. When we are full we will have to raise the bar, I am happy because we have worked on individual technique regarding the fundamentals on which it is possible to work. We totally lack the synchronisms of six against six, of team play, of block and defense correlation because clearly with such a small number of players it is not possible to work on these aspects “.
With the group in full force, coach Bernardi will probably be able to start working only from Monday 19th September.
“In fact – underlines the coach – we will work together for only two weeks, I don’t know if it will be enough to find all the right synchronisms, certainly we cannot think of having the best team in the first championship. There is no material time to have the right amalgam but I point and trust a lot on the individuality, ability, technique and motivation of each player to solve the difficulties we will have at the beginning, we will have to find as soon as possible, but without getting anxious , our game system. We have five red and white players in the semifinals of the World Cup, the company must be proud especially for our young Italians, for some time they were potential promises, players who could arrive and are now among the top Italian players. They just have to be proud to represent Italy and Gas Sales Bluenergy Volley Piacenza at the World Cup. “
