Eve of the appointment that will close the Play Off 5th Place group, with Rana Verona ready to take the field at the Kioene Arena in the derby against Sonepar Padova, scheduled for tomorrow at 5:30 pm. In the run-up to the match, Coach Simoni spoke at a press conference, introducing the challenge.
These are his words: “Against Modena it was a real match, from start to finish, because both teams played to win. I had important responses from everyone, from the usual ones like Keita, Mozic and Cortesia, who is playing a great championship, but also from the others, like Bonisoli, who held up well, Sani, finally a protagonist after having worked hard from all points of view. It was a great match but it’s over and now I don’t think about it anymore. We were good and solid at the wall, in the service we first put their libero in difficulty and then moved the goal when he got into rhythm”.
He then continued: “The goal is to finish first in the group and we need to win 3-0, which will not be easy at all because it is always complicated to play in Padua. The team plays good volleyball and at this stage they are alternating all the players. It reminds me of Grottazzolina. We will have to have the same approach, but the continuation will have to be of a completely different type. The match is not over until we have won the three sets. We faced each other after Grottazzolina, which must serve as a lesson, but we have to demonstrate it in practice”.
