Women’s A1 Volleyball – The Florence obstacle between Novara and its ambitions – iVolley Magazine
The midweek post sees Palazzo Wanny Il Bisonte Florence challenge the Igor Gorgonzola Novara. Not an easy period between the new friendly walls for the girls of coach Bellano, who on three matches (Rome, Scandicci and Busto Arsizio) have collected only one point and lost advantage over the pursuers, the next of which, Vallefoglia, opponents of the bisontines in the end week coming. Novara, on the other hand, has not lost in the league since December and after the stoppage for Covid it has resumed its run-up to the leading group, with only two seasonal defeats like Conegliano.
The coach of the Tuscans released this statement on the match: “The strengths and qualities of Novara are the great organization of the wall-defense phase and the depth of the staff available to Stefano Lavarini. On Thursday we will try to stand up to him by focusing on a fairly aggressive batting tactic. With them we need to stem some attacking outings to keep the quality of our break phase high, if we succeed the race could become interesting. I am positive and I believe that in these two days we will be able to focus well on what we need. The team will show some beautiful volleyball and the desire it has to continue playing, maybe this time it will collect something more than the applause in the last two home games “.
For the guests, it is the dg Marchioni at the meeting: “Our tour de force continues, with two trips in four days that will give away heavy points. When we left after the long forced stop for Covid, we knew that we had to grit our teeth and that many tough and decisive challenges awaited us. In Florence we will face a very valid team from the last technical and tactical point of view and as it has already been in the exits, what will make the difference will be our ability to always stay inside the game, reacting promptly to the difficulties that are encountered and without moving the pace. in good times. It goes without saying that we want to win: for the standings and to keep pace with the other leaders of the class, which is crazy in this phase ”.
