Under the Belluno Volley Christmas tree lies the most desired package: the one that contains the three points. In Mirandola, the final away game of the first half of the season ended with a convincing victory over newly promoted team Stadium. To the satisfaction of sporting director Alessandro Carniel: “A good performance from everyone, in a well-played match. I saw a well-organized team, and the blocking-defense relationship worked wonderfully, as coach Mastrangelo had requested. The team also performed at the level we hoped for in attack and service.”

MERITUS AND DEMERITUS – It’s the second consecutive away win, allowing the Rhinos to secure a spot in the top three: “Aside from a few small lapses in form, the team demonstrated adequate consistency. We’re pleased.” The best way to wipe away the slight misstep against Sarlux at the VHV Arena: “I remain convinced that Sarroch’s merits outweighed our shortcomings. In any case, we worked hard in the gym during the week: the group is united and compact. It takes time, but I’m confident that a better Belluno Volley will emerge from these situations.”
