Valsugana and Virtus Trieste arrive (one today and the other tomorrow) with nothing left to lose
BELLUNO
Valsugana – Belluno, second act. Da Rold Logistics hosts the Paduan sextet at 6 pm at De Mas in the return of the first round of the men’s B playoffs (live on the social channels of Volleyball Belluno). The Belluno team starts from the away win for 3-0 obtained on Wednesday evening in the opposing field. To qualify, Belluno needs to win at least two partials. Only if the Paduans were to win 3-0 or 3-1 would a golden set be played at the end of today’s match. In short, the Belluno starts from pole position, but the race is still long. At stake, in addition to qualifying for the second round of the playoffs, there is also the tenth consecutive victory.
«On Wednesday evening we played a good match», comments the captain of Da Rold Belluno, Luca Gallina, «because we arrived in Padua aware of our potential and ready to face the match. It went well, we only suffered in the second set where we wasted a few more balls, but surely it was also thanks to Valsugana Volley. Physically the team is there, the forced stop due to Covid I would dare to say that it is water under the bridge. Some guys suffered a little more when they returned to the gym, but luckily we had enough time to resume ».
Now, the return match …
«Another battle awaits us», assures Galina, «they are a tenacious team and certainly with great character. They will try in every way to overturn the result, but we will be ready and full of desire to continue smoothly our path in the playoffs ».
Simone Natale and Alessio Bragato will referee today’s match. Whoever passes the turn will find the winner of Ferrara – Portogruaro, always scheduled this afternoon, at 5.30 pm. In the first leg the Emilians won 3-1.
And tomorrow it’s up to the Cortina Express.
In fact, in women’s B2 Volleyball Belluno will play the return match, again at 6 pm and always at the De Mas sports hall. Garzaro and his teammates also start from the convincing 3-0 winger obtained on Wednesday evening against Virtus Trieste. Tomorrow’s match will be directed by the referees Giuseppina Oriolo and Vincenzo Bruno. The winner will find the best between Blu team Pavia of Udine and Fusion. In the first leg the Venetians (fourth in the Belluno group) had subverted the predictions by imposing 3-2 against the Friulians who, in the regular phase, had been able to conquer 30 points out of 30 by winning the other mini-group. The games, therefore, are confirmed as very open, on all fronts. But both Belluno start from 3-0 in the first leg. And it is certainly not a trivial matter … –
