«We will meet very determined opponents, with the desire to make up for the defeat in Motta di Livenza. And thanks to the extra gear they have at home.” The opponents in question are Brugherio. And the warning to sailors is from Belluno Volley’s technical assistant, Roberto Malaguti.
Yes, because on Sunday 18th (4pm) the rhinos will be on stage in Brugherio against the team with the lowest average age in the championship: «This is a very promising team, the result of one of the best youth sectors in Italy. Plus, he never gives up and often leads the other sextets to tie-breaks.” This year it has already happened eight times. And on five occasions it was the Pink Devils who won, whose objective is to remain in Serie A3. Right now Gamma Chimica would be safe, being one point higher than the playout zone.
There is no shortage of individuals in Brugherio’s ranks: «Starting with Selleri, a technical and personality setter, European champion in 2022 with Italy Under 18 – argues Malaguti -. Without considering Prespov, a Bulgarian opposite back from an experience in Lecce and in his third year in A3. In place four, here is another European youth champion like Carpita, an athlete who is over 200 centimeters tall. And the same goes for Captain Meschiari. Furthermore, a futuristic striker-receiver is Ichino, while the libero is Marini and in the center Mellano and Compagnoni stand out: both on the continental Under 22 roof.” In short, straight antennas at Belluno Volley: Gamma Chimica is capable of anything. Just to take a point away from leaders Mantua and defeat Monge Gerbaudo Savigliano, fourth in the class.
