Ten out of ten. The progress of Gabbiano Mantova in the A3 Credem Banca championship is literally unstoppable, and even Belluno Volley, the third force of the tournament, must bow before coach Serafini’s boys.
It was a 3-0 without too many appeals that Gola and his teammates gave to the Venetians, who came to Mantua with high ranking ambitions, but were sent back to the sender by an once again excellent performance from all the players.
Coach Serafini confirms Tauletta in the center, with Ferrari still not fully recovered, and launches Parolari for the first time since the start. The spiker from Trentino repays the trust with 11 points, including three blocks, for a performance of absolute substance. Once again Novello was on fire, author of 17 points, but the contribution of anyone called into question was positive, including Sommavilla, used in the third set to protect the break phase.
The first and third sets ended with the advantage at 26-24, demonstrating the great balance the match had in store. In the second, however, Gola and his teammates took advantage of a couple of missed passes from the Venetians, fouled while serving, and took home the score 25-21.
«Great, great performance – says an enthusiastic Nicola Artoni, sporting director of Gabbiano Mantova – which once again confirms all our potential. Ten consecutive victories in the first year of A3 are, even now, something difficult to imagine in September, but reality says that we can compete with them all.
