WEAPONS

After the break for the national teams, the A1 series championship resumes at the weekend with the 7th day, which marks the halfway point of the first leg. Costruzioni Italia Broni will be on stage on Sunday (at 7 pm, live broadcast on digital terrestrial channel 441 and streaming on Lbftv.it.) On the field of Fila San Martino di Lupari. The Oltrepadano environment is charged after the victory against Campobasso.

Bestagno’s optimism

«In the last few matches we have grown and there is an excellent combination. – explains captain Elena Bestagno, 29-year-old playmaker – We have found our size and balance as a team, we are very close as a group and I think this can also be seen on the pitch. If the group is strong you can also see it on the court, both in attack and in defense, because we feel good, so we know how to help each other. In short, we are on the right path for the next matches ». The team is working and seeing the first results: «Surely the stop was used to recharge the batteries and solve some small ailments. – continues the player from Bordighera, in her first season with the Broni shirt – I am convinced that the break has not somehow interrupted the positive moment, because in the end the group is always the same. However, in my opinion, we are doing well. Indeed I believe that the team did more than expected, also because the calendar certainly did not help us, with Venice, Ragusa and Schio in the first 5 days of the championship. The regret remains the game in Faenza, for how we faced it, because it was a challenge, on paper, well within our reach. While the victories against Campobasso and Lucca are perhaps unexpected because they come against two opponents who, always on paper, are superior to us. So we made some exploits ».

The glass is certainly half full: “There are 4 points that could affect our ranking in the end, – adds the play, author of 14 points against Campobasso – precisely because they were obtained against thick formations and against which it is not certain that our competitors direct do just as well “.

Next Sunday we go to San Martino: «It will be a tough match because it is a young team, but which works well on a tactical level, runs a lot, so we will have to approach it in the best possible way. – concludes Bestagno, who in this first part of the season is showing his grit and determination – I think it is within our reach: they will be able to put us in difficulty, but we will certainly play our cards to the best of our ability ». –
