After a Monday off, Cucine Lube Civitanova returned to the gym for a morning weight session, while a technical training session is scheduled in the afternoon. The second consecutive home match is in the sights.

Sunday 16 October (at 6 pm with live Rai Sport) the red and white will face the Valsa Group Modena at the Eurosuole Forum on the third first leg of SuperLega Credem Banca. Angry about the tie break lost on Sunday in the seasonal debut within the friendly walls against Padua Volleyball, but aware that learning from mistakes will be an essential viaticum to give life to a great group, the Italian champions are finding a good harmony even outside the field. This is demonstrated by the “single thought” that characterized the statements of the post-match interviews, with captain Luciano De Cecco, the coach Chicco Blengini and the new hitter Mattia Bottolo and Alex Nikolov in full harmony. Lube 2022/23 wants to build one brick at a time by fighting in each match to raise the level.

Waiting to find Marlon Yant at 100%, with players willing to sacrifice themselves in other roles and ready to make self-criticism even before resetting, coach Blengini knows that it will take time and patience to reach the set game parameters. It will be essential to leverage the competitive spirit and stubbornness of the cooks, who will sell their lives dearly in the next match with a historic opponent and equal points in the standings.
