The game is played at 5 pm, the match against Savino del Bene is already a classic of the current season: in the first leg Wolosz and her teammates won at the Palaverde 3-1, then in São Paulo in the final of the Club World Cup coach Gaspari’s girls prevailed, with a yellow-blue revenge in Turin in the last act of the Coppa Italia Frecciarossa. Challenge for the top, Prosecco DOC boasts 4 more points, with 60 points after 22 days. The team will remain in Tuscany to prepare for the second appointment at the Pala BigMat in three days, Tuesday evening against Il Bisonte Firenze. Full group for coach Daniele Santarelli.

DICHIARAZIONI COACH DANIELE SANTARELLI
“Even though we will play two close tests in the same city, the next two games are very different from each other. The one against Scandicci is a challenge with a different flavor: we have already faced each other in great challenges this season in three different competitions, the league record is up for grabs, but this time we will play at their home in a sports hall that will be very hot and promises to be sold out. It will be a great match between two teams that deserve to be in the top two positions in the standings for what they have shown. It was a Champions League week of great appointments, Savino del Bene is back from a great performance in Turkey against Vakif, we reset after Wednesday’s victory. Scandicci will certainly be hungry to get closer to us in view of the last three days of the championship, but it is a match that puts more than three points up for grabs, whoever wins will have given a good demonstration of its value a few weeks before the play-offs. We thank the club for giving us the opportunity to stay in Florence to prepare both challenges in the best possible way, we want to respond by playing the best volleyball possible and trying to bring home the 3 points”.
