The team will be rejuvenated, now it’s on the hunt for players “We hope to play a regular championship”
HEART
Alto Canavese plans to strengthen and rejuvenate the team. The Cuorgnatese team, which will play for the third consecutive year in men’s B, has as its main objective that of obtaining salvation as soon as possible. Compared to last season, only Grosjacques remained in the band, Giacobbo, Marchese and Spinello in the center, Avalle opposite and Randone free, while the situation linked to Captain Argilagos is still on standby. Bertoni, Carlevaris, Bolla, Menardo and Crosasso will no longer be part of the team.
The club of president Piero Volpe is testing the ground in search of a band, a setter and a free, as confirmed by coach Matteotti: «We are still looking for three additions – says Matteotti – to complete a staff that will be very young next season. In addition to bringing three players from outside, our intention is to be able to bring some elements of our under 19 to the first team, such as, for example, the setter Gabriele Vercellino, the bands Mattia Benedettelli, Nicolò Aimonetto and Leonardo Rossi , in addition to the central Pietro Bergero, all players on whom we are thinking carefully whether to train and stay initially on the bench in B. In recent days we have already planned the resumption of preparation, which will take place on Thursday 2 September, but we still do not know if at PalaCuorgnè or in Aosta, where we do physical tests every year ”, explains Matteotti. The coach from Alto Canavese then analyzes the season just passed: “We finished the first phase in third place, behind teams much stronger than us, such as Savigliano and Ciriè, just to mention a few teams present in our mini group of six teams. , then in the playoffs we beat the Ligurians of Lavagna 3-0 in both games, before being defeated by Ciriè 1-3 at home and 3-0 away. The Ciriacesi are our black beast, this year in four matches, we have always lost: they are stronger than us, but what did not go down, exquisitely speaking of the playoffs is not so much this figure, but how we lost both at home ours, who gives them: without fighting as we know how to do and this is true for all players – continues Matteotti -. In the next season we hope to be able to return to a regular championship: in two years of Serie B we have never started and finished an entire season from October to May ». –
