Four days to go in the Serie B national volleyball championship, 27 points in the standings, 8 points ahead of the relegation zone, 11 points won out of 15 in the last 5 games. A winning six that describes, so far, the championship of the SNS Cus Bari Pallavolo, next Sunday, involved in the difficult away match at the home of the second strength of the championship: Taviano. A well-structured opponent determined not to give up a point on their position to compete for the promotion playoff final. Two former players in the Bari ranks: the setter D’Amicis and the lateral Mastracci. However, the people from Bari have also accustomed us to high-value performances, capable of eliminating any technical gap. Aside from mathematical calculations, which more than a few have begun to do, the Cussini must deploy all the energy available. The news that arrives from other fields matters little, the intentions are to fight until the last point. “We must stay focused on the present – says coach Corrado Mancini – mathematics tells us that we are not safe yet. In the last 5 days we have scored 11 points which shows how the team is turning and going through a positive moment. We are in a fairly calm situation in the rankings where we can glimpse the finish line but we haven’t reached it yet. So, be careful not to take steps backwards. These four matches must be faced with grit, determination and the desire to achieve the best. Taviano? A superior level – he continues – has demonstrated with points and performances that they are the second team to beat. Since November they have lost only twice and once against Grottaglie. They will want to continue on this path. We’ll try to ruin his party.”
