He knows the atmosphere, the climate, the environment well. And also the opposing team. Yes, he knows them better than any athlete of Belluno Volley. Because he played, and lived, in Puglia for an entire season: last season, in which he wore the jersey of Just British Bari. The reference is to Riccardo Cengia: the middle blocker, called into play in the first set of game 1, knows perfectly well that the volleyball temperature of the second act, relating to the Serie A3 Credem Banca playoff semifinal series, will be boiling: Sunday 13 April (6 pm), at the PalaCapurso in Gioia del Colle, a new duel with Joy Volley is scheduled. ENVIRONMENTAL FACTOR – «As we were able to see in game 1 – says Cengia – the red and white crowd is very close-knit and warm. And the environmental factor can only help the home team, just as our fans helped us last Sunday». About the challenge of the VHV Arena, the middle blocker from Thiene has no doubts: «We have shown that we can play against anyone. Specifically, the match that opened the series with Gioia del Colle was prepared and interpreted in the right way by everyone».
In this regard, in the match last weekend I was happy to see two former teammates who now defend the colors of Gioia del Colle». Namely, the same role Sandi Persoglia and the setter Giuseppe Longo: «In addition, I love the heat, the sea and the food of Puglia».
