Important game at Pala Parenti in S. Croce sull’Arno. At 18.30 on Saturday 11 February, the host Kemas Lamipel, third force in the championship, and Tonno Callipo Vibo Valentia, undisputed leaders of the tournament and fresh winner of the Del Monte Italian Cup, will compete. A spectacular match starting from the crossings of the “ex”. The Lupi coach, Vincenzo Mastrangelo, coached in Vibo as head coach, A2 series 2015-16, and as second coach, in A1, from 2010 to 2013. In this period, 2010-2013, his first experience in the shirt yellow and red of the current Kemas Lamipel point guard, Manuel Coscione. The second, still in A1, refers to the seasons from 2016 to 2018. Moving on to the current roster of Tonno Callipo, the first coach is the Brazilian Cezar Douglas, leader in S. Croce … in the past season, the one that culminated with the play-off semifinal , in addition to the 2019-20 experience (interrupted by Covid). Spiker Michele Fedrizzi is a well-known face to the red and white fans, fundamental in the aforementioned year, that of Cezar Douglas on the bench and of the double confrontation with Cuneo, but Davide Candellaro, central central from Veneto, will also be on the field for the guests at S. Croce in the 2011-12 A2 season. Before the game there will be greetings and hugs. During, it will be a challenge to be enjoyed between a team that has practically always won at home (8 out of 9) and a visiting team that is dominating the championship (+ 7 over BCC Castellana, + 10 over Kemas Lamipel itself) but has lost 3 times in the 9 exits away from one’s Palazzetto, where it is certainly more “attackable”. The Wolves will line up Coscione in control, Motzo striker from opposite, Truocchio and Vigil Gonzalez in the center, Morgese free. In place 4, Mastrangelo will have to choose who to start, aware that he has three starters for two places: captain Colli, Maiocchi, Hanzic. Tonno Callipo will respond with point guard Santiago Orduna, born in 1983, an athlete who last year played the Superlega playoffs with the Vero Volley Monza shirt; the Austrian Paul Buchegger will play opposite, second in the special classification of points scored per set, behind the omnipresent Breuning Rasmus Nielsen, striker from Grottazzolina. In the last match Cezar Douglas brought in Jernej Terpin and Nikola Mijailovic, naturally as “place four”, lining up Alessandro Tondo and Cosimo Balestra in the centre, but the Calabrian squad is of such depth that there are no starters or reserves but , in fact, choices, and these can vary every weekend. Libero, Domenico Cavaccini.
