WiMORE facing Mirandola

A derby closes the first round of WiMORE Parma which tomorrow evening at 8.30 pm at the PalaRaschi, in anticipation of the thirteenth day of the White Group of the Serie A3 national championship Credem Banca, receives the bottom light Stadium Pallavolo Mirandola, in black crisis and back from eight consecutive defeats without picking up any points. This is the fifth official match, in addition to three friendlies, in less than two years between the Emilian teams, both making their debut in the category, who had already faced each other in the last two years in Serie B with a decidedly favorable balance for the Modenese, who emerged victorious in the previous four and promoted on the field to the Play Offs at the end of last season. The current one, however, has so far been stingy with satisfactions, between changes on the bench (deputy Andrea Pinca replaced “Pupo” Dall’Olio on the eve of the fifth round) and chain injuries that kept out key elements for a long time such as opposite Francesco Ghelfi, who returned full-time just over a week ago. The courageous choice to confirm the hard core of the promotion is not paying off in terms of results, despite the fact that often and willingly the performances have not been lacking even against more equipped and navigated rivals in Serie A. Reason for which the gialloblù, slipped to ninth place in the standings also thanks to a particularly difficult calendar in the last period, they will have to pay the utmost attention in a fundamental match that can relaunch the odds with a view to the Play Offs or, on the contrary, in the event of a negative result, force them to look over their shoulders to avoid being sucked in in the hot area. Pineto’s approach, beyond the sixth setback remedied once again in three sets, was so comforting that he cries out for revenge that first set lost to the advantages after canceling four set balls on a still untouched field. From there we will have to start again to round off the first half of the championship, characterized more by lights than shadows.
