Cucine Lube Civitanova is working with its head down in view of the match on Sunday 29 October (3pm) at the Kioene Arena against the hosts of Pallavolo Padova. SuperLega Credem Banca match valid for the second round of the Regular Season. The red and whites have put their home debut in the championship behind them, won by Mint Vero Volley Monza at the Eurosuole Forum in three sets. A severe result that does not erase from the face of opposite player Matheus Motzo the satisfaction of his debut in the top flight with the shirt of the Italian vice-champions. Called into play by coach Chicco Blengini in a delicate phase of the match, the attacker who arrived this summer from Kemas Lamipel Santa Croce brought liveliness to the home team’s offensives by scoring his first points in the Olympus of volleyball and reacting with character and determination to face the difficulties triggered by an aggressive block in a very high level tournament. Remnants of the match also on the court for the Norwegian setter Jakob Thelle, who took the liberty of sealing an ideal serve with a lightning ace.
Matheus Motzo: “Honestly, I had never stopped to fantasize about my debut for too long. In Civitanova I work hard from day one in an attempt to make a contribution to the team and express my potential to the fullest. The result did not reward us on the first day, but the feeling of having lent a hand to my teammates with a good impact in the third set at least to a small extent alleviated the disappointment at the epilogue of the match. Now we want to improve the feeling on the pitch and redeem ourselves as soon as possible, but without frenzy. We look ahead because difficult close matches await us such as the Regular Season away game in Padua and the Super Cup semi-final in Biella against Piacenza, but we are all aware of which aspects need to be treated more meticulously in the gym. The important thing is to think one game at a time to take the field in the best possible condition.”
