The last chapter of the post-season begins and the toucans open the Play-off Final series against MA Acqua San Bernardo in front of their home crowd. In the regular season, Brescia made its debut by hosting the Piedmontese – victorious in the tie-break – and then defeated Cuneo in the first return match. It was Boxing Day, December 26, and since then coach Battocchio’s team has changed gear: Consoli has never faced them at full strength, because Pinali, the opposite with eight seasons of Superleague behind him and a past in the national team with Cavuto, has been injured for a long time. The Play-off results speak of a sextet that is definitely in good shape, which has knocked out Aversa and Prata without many compliments, confirming its state of grace with the heavy 3-0 inflicted on the Friulians in their fortress, a mission achieved this season only in Ravenna and Macerata. The Cuneo players are hungry for revenge, after a championship that saw them finish in fourth place, suffering highs and lows that kept them under the radar, but ready to make up for it in the hottest phase, when it matters most. In addition to Pinali, excellently replaced when necessary by Brignach, the guest roster counts on Sottile as setter, Allik and Sette as wingers, Volpato and Codarin – ex of the day – in the center (both immediately behind Tondo in the ranking of the best in the role) and Cavaccini as libero.
