Ravenna, next opponent Cantù

Tomorrow evening, from the Pala Francescucci in Casnate with Bernate, home of Pool Libertas Cantù, a triptych of direct clashes with a view to the playoffs for Consar Ravenna begins. The Brianza team are currently eighth in the standings, together with Santa Croce sull’Arno, which will visit Ravenna next Sunday, four points away from seventh place, the last place for the playoffs, but with two games less. Then to close the month of February the trip to Brescia, currently fifth in the rankings. “A tough period of challenges awaits us – admits Marco Bonitta, Consar coach – but we are ready to face them. But, as I always say, let’s look at one game at a time. So, all our attention now goes to Cantù.”
Tomorrow’s match (played at 7pm, free live on Volleyballworld.tv and deferred on Friday at 5pm on TRSport channel 78 of Teleromagna, and female refereeing pair with Maurina Sessolo from Fontanelle di Treviso and Beatrice Cruccolini from Perugia) is the postponement of the third day of the return round, due to the presence with the Under 20 national team of a player from Pool Libertas, Lorenzo Magliano, at the Wevza Tournament in Frankfurt, which offered a place for the next category European Championships. That place was taken by France, who beat the Italians in the final but Magliano consoled himself with the prize of best spiker of the tournament.
The Brianza team have won three of the last four matches played, the last in Aversa on 30 December, but thanks also to five tie-breaks played (2 won) they have scored points in eight of the last nine matches, with which they have moved up the table . The performance of Pool Libertas was logically not lost on Bonitta and Goi and his companions. “A very tough match awaits us because Cantù in general, but especially at home, is playing very well and has provided important performances. We are going to meet a tough, combative team, which has quality in the correlation between the first and second lines and an important player like Gamba who last year was the second best scorer. It will take a very high level performance to bring home a positive result, but we have prepared well. Two extra days of training to extend a strange and unusual week allowed us to recover some energy and to reflect and analyze what didn’t work in the last match against Cuneo.
