ANCONA – Strengthened by the success of game 1 achieved last Sunday in Senigallia by 17-12, Cosma Vela is preparing to face the away match in Turin where they will meet Aquatica for the second time (12pm), a repeat of the match a week ago which gave the Dorics their first success. For coach Milko Pace’s girls, forced for almost three months to continuously migrate for training, it is the second appointment with the playoffs, a match in which they will have to be able to replicate the good things shown in game 1 in the Saline swimming pool, a compact defense, team ready to counterattack and also ready to do damage with its ends, above all Elena Altamura Elisa Monterubbianesi.
The long trip to play the match in Turin, and the fact that the teams now know each other better, mean that for the Doric team it will certainly be a more complicated match than the previous one, a match in which the Ancona team will have to put all their attention and concentration at their disposal to close the series and access the final which, in case of victory, will see them opposed to Orobica of Bergamo. «Like last week, this is also an atypical week, with a holiday in the middle – explains coach Milko Pace – but we will recover a couple of girls who have been struggling with a bit of flu. We are training in the best way possible in these conditions, I am confident, the only thing that is certain is that each playoff match is a game in itself. Last Sunday’s result is a lie, Turin has at least four excellent quality players, I expect a match that is certainly more complicated than the one we played last Sunday in Senigallia.”
