The curtain has officially been raised on the Sir Susa Vim Perugia season.
The usual exceptional theater is the showroom of Autocentri Giustozzi, a historic partner of the Juventus club for eleven seasons which also this year hosted the presentation press conference in the second afternoon in the presence of the media and Juventus supporters.
In the presence of the “hosts” of Autocentri Giustozzi, represented by the sales manager David Bizzarri and with Marco Cruciani hosting the event, president Sirci welcomed the upcoming season and the new team called upon to keep the black and white colors high during the season. Then the applause of those present was received by the new coach Angelo Lorenzetti, his work team and of course the boys, both the “old” ones starting from Max Colaci now in his seventh season in Perugia, and the “new” Held, Candellaro, Toscani and Ben Tara.
Followed by a quick transfer to the PalaBarton where the unprecedented match between the “Blocks” and the “Devils” was staged in front of a good crowd, an all-family challenge between the boys in mixed teams led on the bench by Giaccardi and Piacentini with obviously the supervision of Lorenzetti and with the players rotating in the various sets played at the 15th with the Juventus technical staff trying different tactical solutions and different sextets (only Russo was not used and carried out differentiated work on the sidelines). Space in the finale also for the very young Tesone and Dionigi.
On a purely statistical level, the match ended with the victory of the “Devils” with a score of 1-3 (15-12, 16-17, 8-15, 13-15) and, again on a purely statistical level, they finished in double figures Herrera and Leon with 11 and 10 points, Plontytskyi was the “king” of aces with 2 service winners while Leon again obtained the highest number of points on blocks with 2 winners. But above all it was a party and a taste of the new season for the audience present who in the end took advantage of it for the first selfies and the first smiles with the boys.
