An analysis from an insider, who studies the numbers and details of the opponent, the match, and, of course, the team he coaches. Not forgetting the meticulousness that Mirko Monaldi, assistant coach to Marco Bartolini at ErmGroup Altotevere for five years, puts into every training session, including from a physical and athletic standpoint. And it was Monaldi who provided the reading for the 2-3 away win against Negrini Cte Acqui Terme, which saw the white-and-blues take a two-goal lead, then comeback and overtake them. “The boys approached the game well,” Monaldi begins, “knowing, above all, that they were facing a strong opponent with the technical and physical characteristics of a class. If we look at the match, analyzing it set by set, they were very tense at the start because they’re in a ranking position that doesn’t reflect their value, and inevitably they didn’t play calmly, so they found themselves in a state of difficulty and were unable to rise to their technical level.
