Turn the page and start a new chapter. This was the motto for Cisterna Volley the day after their home defeat against Itas Trentino. “On Wednesday, we gathered in the gym and didn’t talk about the loss; we had already talked about it extensively the night of the game, in the locker room. On Tuesday night, we told each other what we had to do, and the next day, our minds were already focused on the next match,” emphasized Daniele Mazzone.

On Sunday at 6:00 p.m., Cisterna faces a match full of pitfalls: the excitement of a stadium that promises to be heated for Cuneo’s home debut in the SuperLega, and the unity of an opponent who, in Padua, proved they don’t suffer the price of being newly promoted (last season, they secured their place in the SuperLega by winning the promotion playoffs against Brescia).

“We’ll be driven by the desire to bounce back,” added Daniele Mazzone. “Losing against Trento is understandable, but we took the field to give it our all, aiming to get a result. And given the way the game went, we’re deeply disappointed because we weren’t able to execute what we wanted: we created little in the service game and made a lot of mistakes, and we were inconclusive at the block.
