A guest on Radio Arancia, during the program “7×4,” the red and white general manager Beppe Cormio commented on Cucine Lube Civitanova’s start to the tournament. The manager of the Italian runners-up gave a comprehensive overview, recalling the difficulties of the preseason and the positive impact of the regular season, up until the growth that brought Giampaolo Medei’s team to the top, alongside Sir.
Beppe Cormio (General Manager Cucine Lube Civitanova): “After a somewhat difficult athletic preparation, with only a few players available, the team was late to full strength, but they had an excellent approach to the championship. The only defeat came in Perugia, on a pitch where taking away one point is still a feat. The team has found its balance, as demonstrated by the victories against Trento and Verona, even if we are only at the beginning and not all the opposing teams are at full strength. I still have in my mind the Palas packed with a large crowd and a Lube team that was in control of the game. We suffered a bit from Darlan’s serve, but that’s okay with Brazil’s starting opposite hitter, who hit at speeds of up to 135 km/h.
