Lube Civitanova challenges Perugia in game 2 of the Scudetto semi-final

Young Lube, do something great. It's game 2, today at 18pm Civitanova faces Perugia again to try to restore balance in the Scudetto semifinal series. Exactly one week ago the defeat in Umbria was clear, a 3-0 that highlighted the difference in technical values ​​and experience between the teams, exacerbated in favor of the Italian champions by the absence of a star player like captain Balaso. However, it was only the first act and during a playoff duel things can evolve, plus Lube is confident in its bunker: theEurosuole Forum. In fact, at home this season it has been a sort of steamroller, beating everyone (including Sir) and falling only once, in game 1 of the quarterfinals against Milan. Pushing Medei's boys to victory will be a packed arena, still not sold out for a few dozen tickets as of yesterday evening and certainly dominated by the color red, as if to make the atmosphere even more heated. We remind you that there will also be a live broadcast on free-to-air Rai Sport. Medei has worked on the new defensive and reception mechanisms during the week, modified by necessity due to Balaso's injury. Bisotto has had the opportunity to improve the understanding with his teammates and the hope is to see the real Bottolo again, negative at PalaBarton Energy. In game 1 Perugia prevailed because they received and defended better, they were superior in the counterattack while in service it is true that Lube made more aces (thanks to the 5 of Lagumdzija) but overall Sir served more effectively and made Civitanova's reception more difficult. Much of the outcome of game 2 will depend on this last aspect, after all Perugia is the team that makes the most aces in the entire SuperLega and has in Plotnytskyi the number one server of the tournament. In the ranks of the home team the second libero changes. In Perugia it was Diego Dolcini, however never entered, for game 2 instead the 2008 Diego Gatto, 196 centimeters and native of Osimo, was called up from the youth team. Before the match Lagumdzija will receive the recognition of Credem Banca MVP of the quarterfinals. On the other side coach Lorenzetti will once again be without the middle blocker Russo.
