Crucial challenge in a key play-off for the WiMORE Parma: after acquiring the mathematical salvation four days before the end, Sunday March 5th at 18 The host of the yellow-black team is the From Rold Logistics Belluno, currently in fifth place and two lengths ahead in the overall standings. The two sides, in full swing for the post-season, are enjoying a terrific period of form: the Gialloblù, still eighth but one down from San Giustino, who would play in the promotion play-offs today, return two away wins in a row to the detriment of the precarious Montecchio Maggiore and Brugherio.
Parma achieved in a week what was defined by many and especially the club as the main goal in the year of their absolute debut in the Serie A championship. Series A3 and now also thanks to the push from PalaRashi (free entry for elementary, middle, and high school students and families, as well as all university students), nurturing the ambition to be able to raise the bar even if the calendar isn’t the easiest. The direct clashes planned between Saturday and Monday (San Giustino-Savigliano ahead and the Bologna-Garlasco shift) could upset the hierarchies before the break in a very delicate shift If you make a mistake, you seriously risk being eliminated from the game.
The 3-0 win in the first leg in the Veneto region (no other team conquered the Spes Arena in three sets) doesn’t fool the WiMORE coach too much, Andrea Codeluppi: “It’s going to be a very hard-fought game, we both have the will to win, because a win at this moment would clearly have great value in the final result of the table, and therefore there will certainly be no lack of fighting spirit and determination to win the result . Belluno comes from important results, it won with Pineto, in Savigliano and last Sunday with San Giustino, it is certainly in a good moment but we also did well because after the home game with San Giustino there would have been a little discouragement can and instead , the next two trips with the six points scored allow us another chance to play in the postseason“.
“I think both teams arrive with great will and good health – adds Codeluppi – also of results. As always, the audience’s contribution is important: I smile a little because I heard the interview with the Belluno coach and he said that after having traveled all the arenas in Italy, the best audience is that of Belluno; It would be nice if we could show in Parma that so many people come to us, cheer us on and help make what could be a dream come true for us“.
The Parma coach then returns to the last game with Gamma Chimica: “Brugherio’s game has three aspects that I liked the most. The first is the quality of the game, which is expressed in the first ten to fifteen minutes. We don’t often start strong and in Brugherio we started very strong. Then we got into trouble objectively, mainly because of their skill and quality on serve, and we suffered there, but in suffering we never gave up. Eventually, when they eased off a bit, we came out, so I’m promoting three aspects: quality of play, suffering, and reaction“.
In conclusion, the balance sheet up to this moment of the season: “Redemption was the original goal, not at all easy in a league so balanced and of this quality. Every Sunday it’s really difficult to get points after we’ve reached the goal that the club gave us a month in advance, I think it’s a good result and it allows us to end this season finale with a more ambitious but at the same time experiencing grateful experience we have done“.
The game will be visible in Live broadcast on the Serie A Volleyball League YouTube channel and on the WiMORE Volley Parma Facebook page.
