Cucine Lube Civitanova, which received endless applause last season, is a ‘creature’ of Beppe Cormio and Albino Massaccesi, it is the group of coach Giampaolo Medei and his collaborators, the team of emerging youngsters and stainless veterans, but it is also the Lube of the athletic trainer Massimo Merazzi and the medical staff. Protagonist of unforgettable years in red and white, “Max” is preparing to live his fifteenth season in a row as the ‘guardian of the muscles’ of the cooking giants.
Merazzi: “Last season was different from the others, the team worked even harder and was always ready. Beyond the sporting results, such as the victory of the Coppa Italia, the defeats in the Challenge Cup Final and the Scudetto Play Offs, physically the team responded very well, the staff worked hard on a young group that needed to grow, but had plenty of room for improvement. Generally speaking, emerging players can pay for a bit of inexperience, but unlike very mature players, they have greater ease of work and fewer muscular problems to live with”.
“Everyone stood out, but if I have to talk about an inexhaustible player I have to mention captain Fabio Balaso, who due to his experience certainly cannot be placed among the youngsters.
