Only those who don’t know the TMB Monselice could take lightly the challenge scheduled in two days, in the Schiavonia plant. It’s a Veneto derby, it will be staged early (Saturday 14, the first serve is scheduled for 6 pm) and Da Rold Logistics Belluno will face it with 13 points more than an opponent currently last in the standings (together with Mirandola) .
But the ranking does not go into the field. And it starts from 0-0, in a fiery environment and in the presence of a formation, the one led by coach Guglielmo Cicorella, who has several arrows in his quiver. As confirmed by the assistant coach of the DRL, Roberto Malaguti: «Monselice is a very close-knit team, full of players who have been playing together for years. Their main asset? Certainly the competitive spirit: they never give up».
Nor should the environmental factor be underestimated: «No doubt, the crowd that fills the Schiavonia arena is the seventh player on the pitch». And, right at home, TMB scored points in six games out of seven: the only empty pass was recorded on the second day of the championship, against San Giustino (1-3): «We will be facing a team from strong character – concludes Malaguti -. Character well represented by the opposite Dragon: an athlete able to read the game and to vary the shots. In addition, he is very spirited and is playing a very good championship. Furthermore, Monselice is solid in reception. It is ordered in the wall-defense correlation. In short, it will be a really good challenge ».
