On Sunday at 6 pm Gioiella Prisma Taranto is expected at the Eurosuole Forum in Civitanova, for the first day of return against Lube Cucine Civitanova. The Champions of Italy are among the eight teams grouped in five points and are returning from the victorious brace that saw them win in the SuperLega, against Milan, and last night in the CEV Champions League, 3-0 against Tours. The cooks are having an excellent moment, with the opposite Zaytzev and Bottolo in great shape.
In the first leg it was 3-0 for the guests at the PalaMazzola, led by Zaytzev and by a skilful direction by De Cecco, with a Falaschi in the Ionian field not yet in top form due to an injury and the rossoblù, led by Antonov, who had sold dearly the skin: Sunday, however, will be a challenge with no holds barred: from the first match of the second round, in fact, the Ionian team will be even more resolute in chasing points on every field, and will attempt the feat right at the Eurosole Forum in Civitanova.
Among the most important players from the Marches, in addition to Zaytzev and Bottolo, there are the Cuban spiker Yant, the new world champions such as the libero Balaso and the blue central Anzani, already with Lube last season, the American spiker Gabi, the French central Chinenyeze, the very young Gottardo, the free D’Amico, already one of the best in the role of the last A2.
