Delta Group Porto Viro on Saturday 8 October at 20.30 the nerofucsia will make their debut in the Serie A2 Credem Banca championship on the court of Tinet Prata di Pordenone. Immediately an uncomfortable opponent, the Friulian Sparrow – newly promoted in the category – have already given Porto Viro a hard time in the preseason and have further “strengthened” in recent weeks with the return of his two European U20 champions, the setter Mattia Boninfante (son of Dante, technician of the Friulians) and the spiker Luca Porro.
Delta Group too, however, will be able to field their Azzurri d’oro on Saturday, Riccardo Iervolino on the pitch and coach Matteo Battocchio on the bench. The Turin coach himself presented the challenge of PalaPrata at the press conference: “It is a delicate match not only because it is the first, but because we are playing against a very strong team. I think Prata will be one of the revelations of the championship, they are fearful in batting, they have an effective cover system, they defend and are good at building replay opportunities even on dirty backs. In short, it is a formation that expresses itself at a high level in every part of the field and will put us on the rope from the point of view of intensity. I expect a complicated match with many difficulties, to try to score points and move the ranking immediately it will be essential to receive well, but above all we must be strong in spirit, be strong men even before being strong players “.
