Gabbiano Mantova is still flying high, firmly in command of the white group of the Serie A3 Credem Banca championship. Eight points ahead of San Donà and thirteen points over Savigliano halfway through the second round, evidence of a truly excellent journey so far, with 16 victories out of 17 games played and the qualification obtained for the Final Four of the Italian Cup, scheduled to take place in They are next March 2nd and 3rd.
An extremely positive balance, which can only make president Paolo Fattori happy: «We are reaping the fruits of three years of work, which started in Serie B – comments the Virgilian number one – we have maintained our hard core, made up of Gola, Scaltriti , Zanini, Catellani, Miselli, Ferrari and Artoni, with the latter now as manager. Furthermore, many motivated young people arrived. The result was a mix that led to a very compact team, on and off the pitch, which moves me for how it overcomes difficulties during matches.”
The strength is in the group, therefore: «A group with a soul, which is facing and getting the better of equipped teams thanks also to a staff that works with competence. The team combines technical qualities with moral qualities, I repeat, for how volleyball lives, on and off the pitch.”
Further proof of this is the fact that all the players on the roster have been equally employed: «Those who play always give the idea of being able to get out of difficulties – continues Fattori – up until now it has been like this. The playoffs, already mathematically reached, as well as the Final Four of the Italian Cup, are proof of this. The team plays well and entertains the public, who have returned to following us as the boys deserve, after Mantua had disappeared from the radar of Serie A.”
In closing, the hope is to «recover the injured players as soon as possible in view of the next few weeks, which we will face having fortunately a good treasure in the championship. We have to stay focused, but I can’t help but be happy.”
