The location that hosted the last regular season away game for Yuasa Battery, by a strange twist of fate, also coincides with the debut at the grand ball of the Playoff 5th Place, which puts a place in Europe up for grabs. On Sunday 6 April at 7 pm, Cisterna di Latina will be the stage on which Grottazzolina will be called to perform, and after the triumphant ride of the second round that coincided with an extraordinary salvation, this extraseason appendix represents a further prize that coach Ortenzi’s team has given itself in addition to the extraordinary experience lived at the NAS Sports Tournament in Dubai.
The opponent of the moment
Cisterna, which closed its regular season in seventh place, has been a real bête noire for Yuasa so far: Guillermo Falasca’s boys have in fact imposed themselves both in the first leg by conquering the PalaSavelli in Porto San Giorgio in four sets, and in the return leg, winning in the tie-break in their headquarters.
The situation at Yuasa Battery
The atmosphere at Yuasa Battery is relaxed and very serene, with the club on the one hand having every intention of honoring these playoffs to the fullest, enjoying them with the spirit of “a first time”, and on the other hand setting itself the goal of granting deserved space even to those who, up to now, have had less in the game, constantly showing all their value in training, week after week, without ever falling apart or giving up even when the defeats seemed to have dragged the team from the Marche into a dark and dead-end road.
