The tie break win in Castellana Grotte after two hours and 21 minutes of play, opened the week of the three close matches in the best possible way. And now Consar RCM is trying to confirm itself in the first of two consecutive home matches that await it. Tomorrow evening, at 20.30 the challenge will be with Agnelli Tipiesse Bergamo arrives, who won the first two games and that is one of the most solid realities in this category.
Since his return to A2 in 2016/17, the Bergamo-based team has closed the regular season three times in first place and three times in second, and in the last two years they have won two Italian Cups of A2 and two Super Cups in their category. Marco Bonitta, coach of Consar RCM, is very clear about the difficulties of this match. “Bergamo, in my opinion, is together with Vibo Valentia, the favorite to go up to the SuperLega. He has a complete and deep roster, a couple of players, like Held and Cominetti, who won the last championship with Reggio Emilia, the habit of being at the top. We have to take the field with the right attitude and we will have to play a game of great sacrifice ”.
Consar RCM will be able to throw enthusiasm into the field for the first victory obtained this season, the only away match in the second round, which closes a very long fast, and the very hot hand of Bovolenta, the main striker of the second day with 36 points. “We have to face a big team like Bergamo without any fear, with great determination – says Bovolenta – knowing that it will be a tough game, to be played to the last, but also with the awareness that we can give a lot, as happened to Castellana. Having won on Sunday, and it hasn’t happened for a long time, has given us and the fans a great boost that we must now try to exploit ”.
Special match for Gianluca Graziosi: the Bergamo coach is the former on duty. At Consar Ravenna he binds his only experience as first manager in the SuperLega in 2018/19: for him it will be the first time as an opponent of Ravenna in a Pala Costa that he knows very well.
