After the defeat, Personal Time San Donà restarts from the away match on the field of league leaders Gabbiano Mantova. There were some defections during the week due to the flu, which coach Daniele Moretti also paid the price for. The match in Mantua is presented by deputy Alessandro Mamprin: “We are going to face – says Alessandro – a very well organized team, they have shown they are strong in the crucial moments of the last matches, for example with Motta they won with advantages, while with Belluno won two sets with a score of 26-24. Their strengths are their two attackers, we will have to limit them as much as possible. The team will have to exploit the fundamentals of the serve well, by batting well we will be able to limit their attacks in attack.”

We must quickly forget the defeat suffered internally last Sunday: “It is never easy to return to the gym after a defeat and you have won 10 games, but it is worth underlining the great performance made by Savigliano. We returned to the gym with the desire to redeem ourselves in view of a match where first and second will be facing each other. Saturday’s match can determine the first final place of the season, we will have to prove that we are up to the record, something that always happened until last Sunday’s match.”

The match at the Marco Sguaitzer stadium (start at 5pm) will be directed by Andrea Clemente and Paolo Scotti.
