Il Bisonte Firenze files the Mc Donald’s Trophy and looks at the “City of Scandicci”
Two defeats without winning any sets. This is the balance of Florence in the Mc Donald’s Trophy, which took place last weekend in Imola. However, we look ahead: already next weekend it will be time for a new interesting showcase, namely the “City of Scandicci” tournament, in which the formations of Scandicci, Vallefoglia and Rome will also take part. It will be played at the Palazzetto dello Sport in via Rialdoli.
THE WORDS OF THE COACH – “Assuming that we played with two very strong teams that are superior to us at the moment both in terms of level and quality of play, I believe that the two games were different from the point of view of our quality. In the ball change phase we kept a good pace in the first match with Conegliano, in the second match with Scandicci we particularly had the turn in Orthmann’s service but for the rest of the team in exchange for the ball I didn’t mind. In my opinion, however, where the greatest differences are marked is above all in the quality of the break phase, with Imoco we managed to touch a break phrase that allowed us to remain attacked all the sets until the end. With Scandicci, on the other hand, we fought badly, we fouled against the wall with many negative touches and we were passive in defense, this allowed them to develop their attacking game with great tranquility and this penalized us. The negative aspect common to the races was instead the large number of errors in the service, this only partially paid off with the reception percentages of the opponents. There are a series of interesting ideas to work on this week in view of the Scandicci Tournament and the next, in which we will put together all the information collected in these tournaments and we will start preparing the match with Novara.“.

It should be emphasized, as the press release of the Florentine company recalls, that Diffusione Sport on the occasion of the Romagna event organized a rich format of collateral events developed for a two-day full immersion in the specialty: thematic conferences and conventions, in-depth technical focuses, meet and greetings between the very young athletes of Diffusione Sport and the stars of Serie A and participation in national initiatives issued by the Federation.
