Women's A2 Italian Cup quarterfinals. Test at Busto Arsizio's home: "Cbf Balducci you have to give more"

"At Busto Arsizio's home it will be a match where we have to give something extra to be able to win and qualify for the Coppa Italia semifinal". Valerio Lionetti, coach of Cbf Balducci, talks about today's match at 20 pm when at PalaBorsani in Castellanza the Macerata team, third in group A of A2 women's volleyball, will face Futura Giovani Busto Arsizio, first in group B. The winner will be admitted to the semifinal where they will challenge the winner between Omag-Mt San Giovanni in Marignano and Esperia Cremona.

It is a game with a high difficulty coefficient for the value of Busto Arsizio. It is a very important match on a psychological level because the passage of the round would increase the certainties between the Macerata teams who were defeated in the championship against Messina and San Giovanni in Marignano, that is against the first and second in the class. "After the last ball fell in the match in Mondovì, we are head and body on this fundamental commitment. We must give it our all - concludes Lionetti - to play it to the end and try to bring home an important result". Futura Busto Arsizio started again with coach Beltrami on the bench, with the director Sofia Monza diagonally with the opposite Elisa Zanette, one of the best scorers in the championship. In the center the couple formed by the expert Sofia Rebora and the young Fatim Kone, on the wing the shots of the American Alyssa Enneking together with Bianca Orlandi, with the alternative of the Polish Barbara Zakoscielna. The libero is Giada Cecchetto, former Bergamo in A1. Here's what opposite hitter Zanette says about the match: "We're curious to face a team from the other group and moreover one of the caliber of Macerata, which I consider a battleship with really important names. I expect a great challenge, we're ready to play it openly. We're very happy with our positive series but we know that we still have to work on many aspects".
