There is a trait that distinguishes great teams: personality. And Belluno Volley, in the chaos of PalaTigliana, has shown it has it, to the point of transforming the pressure into positive energy. This is how it conquered Sorrento, in game 1 of the Serie A3 Credem Banca playoff final: thanks to a brilliant team performance. And to a “deluxe” version of Alexander Berger: not only for the 26 points scored and enriched by three aces. “We wanted success at all costs,” says the Austrian spiker, “and we gave it everything we had.”
NEEDS TO IMPROVE – The message coming from Campania is significant: the Belluno team has entered the series with strength, mastery and confidence. But it is not the case to look too far ahead or to indulge in flights of fancy. Because the duel with Romeo develops in the best of five games. And the first step – although precious – is not enough. Another one will be needed, on Sunday 27 April (6 pm), at the VHV Arena, when game 2 will take place. Berger himself is not satisfied with what he has achieved so far. And he is looking to the immediate future: «As for my performance on Easter evening, it was good, but there is always something to improve. And this is the goal for the second challenge».
RESPECT – The Austrian champion, with a high-profile past at international level and a championship in his cabinet (in 2018, when he wore the Perugia jersey), was hired to guarantee added value: on and off the pitch.
