From luxury reserve to starter in the Scudetto Semifinals series between Cucine Lube Civitanova and Sir Susa Vim Perugia. The red and white libero Francesco Bisotto has overcome the initial agitation and now declares himself ready to replace the captain Fabio Balaso, out for at least a month and unable to play face to face with Giannelli and his teammates. Game 1 is imminent, it will be played on Saturday 5 April (8:30 pm) at the PalaBarton Energy. At stake is access to the Italian Finals series and a pass for the Champions League which will automatically go to the two Play Off finalists, but which will also be guaranteed to the winner of the 3rd Place contest. Francesco Bisotto (libero Cucine Lube Civitanova): “Obviously I am very sorry for what Fabio is going through. Ours is a united group, we are close and his injury was a shock for everyone. The Scudetto Semifinals are upon us and so we cannot stop to think too much. I feel the great responsibility of facing the series with Perugia as a starter, but at the same time I live this moment as an opportunity to seize to test myself and have fun on the court with high-level challenges. We will find ourselves focused on playing in the best possible way. Usually I do not pay attention to the cycles and recurrences of fate, but I am starting to think about it since I made my debut last year in the SuperLega at the PalaBarton Energy, I had the opportunity to play an entire set on the Block Devils’ court in the last Regular Season and I will start the Italian Semifinals as a starter on the same taraflex.
