The first of five away games in the South in this A2 championship pits Consar against one of the two top-seeded teams, Virtus Aversa, led by former players Garnica and Tallone.
Virtus has won all three of its matches so far, 3-1, away at Cantù and Fano and at home against Tinet Prata. Ravenna won both home games—3-2 against Porto Viro and 3-0 against Taranto—but lost in a tiebreaker in Macerata. “We’re expecting a very difficult match because Aversa has a very competitive squad,” said Andrea Canella, Consar’s middle blocker, “with high-quality and experienced players, strong in every position. It’s logical that they’re already top of the table. We’ll have to interpret and approach this match in the best possible way, trying to limit their play.” The win against Taranto, given the way it unfolded and the performance it delivered, has instilled great confidence and enthusiasm in Goi and his teammates, reinforcing their awareness of ongoing growth. “Our spirits are very high, and we’ll bring that to the pitch on Sunday in Aversa,” Canella confirmed, “where we’re confident we can put in a good performance, fully aware of our potential.” Canella.
