Lorenzetti and Giannelli: “In Bologna we are going to do our best”

The room “Villotti Group” of BLM Group Arena hosted this afternoon the meeting between the local media, the coach Angelo Lorenzetti and the captain of Itas Trentino Simone Giannelli. The imminent participation in the Final Four of Del Monte® Coppa Italia 2019, which starts on Saturday 9th February at Unipol Arena in Casalecchio di Reno (Bologna), has been the main topic of the meeting.
“The direct clashes of the next weekend will clarify the power relations between the several teams - Angelo Lorenzetti said - . The last direct match we faced against Cucine Lube Civitanova (on 13th January in Trento) told us that our opponents are very strong and so we have to do more to get a better result even though we can’t forget that also on that occasion we had done much. We have to do our best and we should stay focused and give it everything. From my point of view I hope that the team would play competitively but at the same time serenely because overdo could be an enemy. Statistics show that the level of our lineup has been medium-high in the side-out phase but we should improve in reception. We have our own style in the service and in the net area but I am sure we will have to do more also in defence”.
“It will be a beautiful semifinal because both teams have a great preparation - Simone Giannelli added - . It is difficult to say what will make the difference; probably the details and the small actions will be determining. We are ready to do our best and we are aware of our abilities; we will play to improve our performance trying not to think about the last match against those opponents. We arrived here because we deserved it; we defeated Verona and we want to see what we will happen. In any case we hope to learn something and grow”.
The players have trained twice today at BLM Group Arena; on Thursday afternoon they will train again. On Friday they will go to Bologna.
