The countdown is on for the first official friendly of the red and white preseason. Tomorrow, Saturday, September 27th (5 p.m.), a Cucine Lube Civitanova team halved by the absence of its internationals will meet Valsa Group Modena at the PalaCiarapica in San Severino Marche. It’s almost a déjà vu, given that the two teams met on the same pitch a year ago to test their skills at the end of September in a “classic” with nothing at stake.
Giampaolo Medei (head coach of Cucine Lube Civitanova):
“There won’t be any major differences from the joint training sessions we’ve had so far. For us, this is a chance to be on the pitch and play at a high level for a long period of time. Therefore, it’s an opportunity for further growth. An official friendly is closer to a real match, giving the impression of fighting for a prize. The atmosphere will also be more energized and will help us approach the start of the season with a challenging stage.
