Ravenna facing Cuneo

Ravenna back to high-ranking challenges. It hasn’t happened for a long time. It will do so on Sunday 7 January at Pala de Andrè, at 6pm, for the first match of the new year, which pits Ravenna against Cuneo, the fourth and third strongest in the A2 championship, separated by two and one point respectively from Prata , second in the standings. Consar has an open series of 5 victories in a row (seven in the last eight races if you want to look further), Puliservice Acqua San Bernardo has pigeonholed seven consecutive successes. Both have the same score: 10 wins and 4 knockouts. “It’s truly a beautiful moment for us – admits Consar captain Riccardo Goi -. We earned it, going from a start to the season in which we struggled and we understood that the only way out was to work better. The results can be seen but this should not make us lower our guard. There is always something to improve and we also saw it last Saturday in Porto Viro, but victories help to instill confidence, to transmit enthusiasm and positivity during the week”.
The Piedmontese team is counted among the favorites for the jump to the SuperLega: after a slow start, Battocchio’s sextet is now unfolding all its great potential on the A2 taraflexes. “The fact that it started slowly is linked in my opinion to the players’ need to get to know each other – comments the captain – as Cuneo is a totally new team and as happens in these cases it takes the necessary time. Now he has found, like us, great continuity and the value of his players, almost all of whom have some experience and have played in the Super League behind them, is emerging. It will be a great match to play on the pitch and to experience in the stands.” And here the captain and flag of Consar calls together his fans: the hope of Goi and the whole team is that Pala de Andrè can truly be the extra player on the pitch, capable of dragging his favorites beyond the columns of Hercules of a truly difficult but extremely stimulating challenge. “In all the years that I have been here in Ravenna I have learned to know the strength of our fans, their ability to accompany and push the team during the matches – he explains – and I have no doubt that it will be like this on Sunday too. Fans with a few years behind them and historical enthusiasts will be able to relive the atmosphere of those matches between Ravenna and Cuneo, when both were part of the A1 elite. We are training to play a great match with the desire to give our fans further satisfaction.”
