With the red and white environment still intoxicated by the three-set victory on Sunday at the PalaPanini against Valsa Group Modena, the entire group of the Cucine Lube Civitanova returned to training in the afternoon with a double session working between the weight room and the taraflex of the ‘Eurosuole Forum, alternating muscle exercises with individual and team technique.

Trailing by 2 points from third place and just one point from fourth place, the team of Chicco Blengini can leverage a more benevolent ranking in view of the home match on Sunday 26 November (6pm) against Gioiella Prisma Taranto for the 7th round. Another key match will take place on the same day, between Mint Vero Volley Monza, currently fourth, and Gas Sales Bluenergy Piacenza, third in the standings.

The cooks, however, must put every ambition relating to their journey in the SuperLega Credem Banca into the icebox, at least until Wednesday. In fact, on November 22nd (8.30 pm), captain Luciano De Cecco and his teammates will face their seasonal debut in the Group Phase of the Champions League. The first challenge, unprecedented, at the Eurosuole Forum with the Romanians of Arcada Galati, requires great concentration because in a grouping of four teams a good approach to the tournament takes on vital importance.
