Volleyball: a lot of quality on the pitch in the Siena-Bergamo match
SIENA. Siena and Bergamo meet tonight at the PalaEstra at 20.30 for a match valid for the third day of the championship. Both teams are at 0 points in the standings and are looking for a redemption. Last year Bergamo dominated the regular season, then coming out in the quarter-finals of the playoffs against Brescia; compared to that team the orobics have changed very little, adding Padura Diaz and Larizza.
“In the past years, when Siena and Bergamo challenged each other, many emotions were experienced – commented sporting director Fabio Mechini -. And they have never been taken for granted. This is a complicated period, more for us than for them who rested on the second day. It is good that this match can show improvements, which we all expect, in our formation ”.
Mechini again: “In Reggio Emilia we weren’t lucid enough to capitalize on the advantage we acquired and conquered in the second set. We lacked some certainties. I hope that for us there is a path of technical and team growth, and that the results can consequently. Then we play it, with our heads held high. Bergamo lost on the first day against an excellent team like Castellana Grotte, however it is one of the teams accredited to stay in the top positions of the standings and to play the promotion in Superlega. Bergamo was already strong last year and in addition it has put in important pieces. However, we must look to ourselves and try to grow and improve ”.
