Women's A1 Volleyball - The Florence team, after the brilliant victory in Cuneo, hosts a direct competitor at Palazzo Wanny (17 pm). The Bisonte does not want to stop, but there is Bergamo

Relieved by the away win over Cuneo that made them climb from eleventh to ninth place in the standings, +5 from the relegation zone, Il Bisonte Firenze returns to Palazzo Wanny where today at 17 (live on vbtv) they will face Bergamo, seventh, who precedes them by 6 points. For the Biancocelesti, a tricky opponent who has collected six victories and as many defeats so far, and a difficult but not impossible match if they take to the field with the lucidity, concreteness and determination that they have shown against the Piedmontese. Bendandi warns them of the dangers of the challenge and gives them energy: "This will be another very important match for us, as well as the last of the first half of the season: I want us to enter the field with the attitude that we managed to find and maintain consistently against Cuneo, with a good dose of confidence and with the awareness that it will be another battle to fight with all the courage and fearlessness that we can express. Bergamo is playing an excellent championship but we must remain focused on ourselves, taking with us the progress seen in terms of awareness and character".

In addition to the importance of the match result, which, in the event of a three-point victory for the home team and a similar success for Cuneo over Vallefoglia, could give them eighth place and therefore access to the quarterfinals of the Coppa Italia, another reason for interest is given by the former players who will take to the field. Starting with the guest coach, Carlo Parisi, and his assistant Marcello Cervellin who led the Bisontine until last season, to get to the players who have exchanged jerseys, on both sides. In the ranks of Bergamo there is in fact Cesè Montalvo who played in Florence last season; on this side of the net, instead, Nervini, Davyskiba, Butigan and Cagnin. In order to close the first half of the season well and start the second half on the right foot, in the meantime, the club is appealing to the public to come in large numbers to support the team.
