Good moment for Grottazzolina

The round 3-0 home win against BCC Tecbus Castellana Grotte, the advantage over the second (now Emma Villas Siena) returned to 5 points, the energy regained in view of the two consecutive away games (Prata di Pordenone and Brescia). Many reasons to look forward with confidence at Yuasa Battery Grottazzolina. Massimiliano Ortenzi’s team continues its journey at the top of the ranking with determination, remaining with its feet on the ground and with the awareness that the difficult part is yet to come. “Against Castellana Grotte – says coach Ortenzi – the boys had the right desire, during the week we had talked and worked in one direction and the results were visible. This doesn’t mean that we are perfect now, it doesn’t mean that we will always win, but it means that we have understood that we are not the only ones at the top, and we have to endure some complicated moments. We played with a great approach to the match, I’m happy because it’s important to give precise signals when you have to push to resolve complicated situations.” A flawless start, the furrow was dug right from the start: “We pushed straight away, with the serve, ball to wall, decisive break points. We resolved tricky situations and attacked with a good percentage. Now comes a double away match: the first against Prata di Pordenone, a difficult environment and an opponent we know; then to Brescia. We have to think game by game. They are two moments of growth, it is a pleasure to play them. Now the bar is raised, Prata is a strong team, they will put us in difficulty. But we are also aware that we have the resources to be able to do well. There are eight days between now and the playoffs and many points up for grabs, the road is still long.”
Against Castellana Grotte, Andrea Marchisio was voted and awarded as best player of the match. The libero, one of the best in the championship, confirms that the team worked well during the week: “It was a positive week from a training point of view because after the defeat in Porto Viro we talked to each other, we analyzed and understood where we had wrong, the things that didn’t go and then we saw the reaction in the gym. Sunday’s game is the result of what is done during the week and against Castellana Grotte we saw it. Congratulations to the whole team, it was the victory of the group, we were all attentive in all three sets and this didn’t happen in all matches. Let’s start again from this beautiful day.”
