DICHIARAZIONI COACH DANIELE SANTARELLI
“The test against Scandicci will be beautiful, the Palaverde will be full and there are all the ingredients for a great show. The atmosphere will be wonderful, there are only 3 points up for grabs, but the match between the first and second in the class, between the two teams that have more continuity at the moment, will certainly be an opportunity to enjoy great volleyball. Both are playing an excellent championship and finding good results in a championship full of pitfalls every day. Scandicci has revolutionized the group, they are very strong and have many attacking ends, players of depth and talent, we will have to interpret the game well and play at our best to counter them. We are in a good moment and we face the match with great energy, we will have to be attentive to their guns and keep the pace high in all the fundamentals, we will sweat. After some long away games we will play three league games in six days at home, then the Champions League will begin immediately, the energies will have to be managed in the best possible way starting from the first against Scandicci, in which we will still have to express our full potential. However, playing four games at home consecutively, even if very close together, will facilitate us in management because without having to travel we will have a little more breathing space.”
