First day of work for Ravenna

Preceded yesterday evening by the delivery of the technical material, the first physical-athletic tests opened the 2023/24 season of Consar Ravenna this morning. The first team, without Alessandro Bovolenta who made his debut in the European Championships with the senior national team yesterday by scoring the point in Italy’s final 3-0 win against Belgium, met at the Pala Costa together with the technical staff, led by Marco Bonitta , fresh from the European Championships with the Slovenian women’s national team. In the afternoon the first weight training session. Tomorrow the team, of which Riccardo Goi will be the captain again this year, will work by the sea: on the beach in the morning at the Marinamore in Marina di Ravenna and in the pool in the afternoon at the Residence Costa Paradiso in Lido Adriano.
“We have changed a lot in the staff but we believe we have raised the technical and physical quality of the team – underlines Marco Bonitta – and the power, both in attack and in serving, we have added more pieces in terms of experience to face a season in the which we set ourselves different goals than those of last year. I immediately ask for a winning mentality also because a championship awaits us with many strong and ambitious formations. In all sectors we have added something more, so it is legitimate to hope to compete in a championship to be among the best”.
The most experienced contribution will be provided by Stefano Mengozzi, who for the fourth time in his career finds himself wearing the shirt of his hometown team. “It is a much desired return both on my part and on the part of the club – he admits – and I put all the enthusiasm and joy of being here again into this season. I see many young guys in this group and I think it will be essential to build a cohesive team group and solid foundations right away to face this season in the best possible way. I think a competitive team has been set up that is able to entertain and excite our fans: I also expect enthusiasm and participation from the fans. We will try not to disappoint them.”
