The perfect match after obtaining a record chased for weeks that put stress on the panthers. Had he been an opponent of another rank, yesterday at Palaverde he could have ended up differently. And it wouldn’t have been a drama. The fact is that Conegliano can “rest” with the Serbs of Zuk Ub, who manage to scare – so to speak – the panthers only in the second set. There could have been a little relaxation after such a demanding start to the season. However, a painless slowdown that allows the Imoco to get off to a good start.

«The right opponent at the right time, because a quick debut in the Champions League would have been complicated after this period. In addition, the month of December will be hellish, and we already start on Sunday with Scandicci. We will have many races, with two long away games, two Champions League matches and the Club World Cup. We needed a soft approach to avoid pulling the girls’ necks, ”said coach Daniele Santarelli. A non-irresistible opponent who allowed Egonu, Wolosz, De Kruijf, Folie, and Courtney to rest who came from a muscular resentment. «We knew that the Zoc was in trouble, also because he was without his setter. It was not easy for them to play against us, on the other hand it is not easy for us to face a team that comes to Palaverde to gain experience. I’m happy with the performance. In the second set we made many mistakes, but otherwise we were balanced in all the fundamentals, despite the fact that this team had never played together », continues Santarelli. Another positive note is Sylla’s return to the front line. After two appearances in the rotations in reception, with Trento she had been kept at rest. «This week she managed to do a little more in training. He had already done this a couple of weeks ago, but he had felt a resentment and we had confirmed it. He suffered because just when he saw the light he took a few steps back. I believe that in 15/20 days we will be able to fully recover it. We will have to be good at giving it the right space, but we have many games to do it », concludes Santarelli.

Giorgia Frosini made her debut in Europe yesterday. «It was very exciting because for me it was the first time as a starter and even in the Champions League», said the opposite at the end of the match. «I was honored to start in sextet. It was a good match because the opponent was not to be underestimated, and we were able to keep our pace. In the second set they increased the intensity, and we dropped a bit. But we did well not to blow our nerves at the end of the set ». –
