Fourth seasonal match for Polisportiva Salerno Guiscards. After the splendid victory in the derby against Volley Project Pontecagnano, the volley team of the association of president Pino D’Andrea will be on stage tomorrow, Saturday, with the kick-off at 18, at the Petrone sports hall in Solofra to face Emilio Vietri Montoro. The match, the third away match for the foxes in this start of the season, closes the first round of this first phase of the championship for Lanari and teammates while the Irpinia team is on their seasonal debut, after the postponements of the first three matches. Another singularity of this inevitably particular championship. For Salerno Guiscards, therefore, a game to be taken with a grain of salt and to be faced with the right energy and concentration. Montoro, in the last championship, finished in fourth place in group B of Serie C and, although renewed in some roles, he still has an important staff that can create difficulties for many teams.
The Salerno Guiscards, for its part, first in the standings with full points, has no desire to stop and rather aims to arrive at the Easter break in the best possible way to then begin to better prepare the hot and decisive phase of the season. . Coach Francesco Tescione, during the weekly training sessions, warned the group about the possible difficulties of the match and asked for the same hunger and desire to win put on the pitch in last Saturday’s derby: “Against Pontecagnano we played a great match – ha declared the setter Benedetta Morea -. We played to win, expressing our game very well and showing all our qualities. I think we deservedly won ».
But now the derby is behind us and there is another match to win on the horizon: «Surely now that we are at the top with full points we cannot afford to lose points. Even against Montoro we hope to have a great match to stay on top of the group. We know some of the opponents well, for having played together or for having faced them in the past and we know that it will take maximum effort to bring home the victory ». Also because Salerno Guiscards has a clear objective: «After the initial difficulties we are finally getting into gear. It has not been an easy season so far due to the pandemic, but today we can say that we are a great team with important goals. Now we hope not to stop and continue the championship as well as we started it and finish it even better ».
For Benedetta Morea, second year at the court of President D’Andrea, this is certainly an important year: “My personal goal is to show when I am worth when I will be called into question, to give satisfaction to the coach and to the club but my greatest satisfaction is seeing my team always win. From a technical point of view, training with Rino Esposito as a setter coach is truly a luxury and thanks to his advice I want to improve training after training ». Finally, it should be noted that there are no precedents between the two teams that will face each other for the first time, naturally behind closed doors. However, all Salerno Guiscards fans and supporters will be able to follow the match live on the Salerno Guiscards Facebook page, with connection starting at 17:50.
