The deafening silence of mid-May at the Eurosuole Forum, without the usual bouncing of the balls on the spring mornings on the Cucine Lube Civitanova field, has been interrupted in recent days by the noise of the equipment in the weight room. Until Thursday, libero Fabio Balaso, the red and white captain, trained non-stop. The Italian vice-champion no longer has the bandage on his right hand and has increased the amount of work to get back to 100% after gritting his teeth to help the team in the decisive matches of the SuperLega Credem Banca Play Offs. In June, the Italian international will join the group of coach Ferdinando De Giorgi, with whom the cooks Mattia Boninfante and Giovanni Gargiulo are already working. The next to join the Italian team will be Mattia Bottolo, who should be available from May 22.
Fabio Balaso (libero Cucine Lube Civitanova): “Ours has been an extraordinary journey, a beautiful initial stage of a journey that I hope will take us even further in the future to pursue increasingly prestigious goals. I agree with what has already been said about this team. Without in any way diminishing the bond with the teammates who have supported me in past seasons, with whom I have experienced extraordinary years, this is one of the best groups for how I have found myself on the pitch and outside the gym. Being the captain of Lube is already a great experience in itself and makes me feel proud, but I want to thank everyone for the emotions experienced”.
