Valentia - ML Verona (3:1)

Vibo finished the pre-season undefeated

  • Published:

The home team have a great chance to continue a series of wins they've started in the pre-season. On paper, Verona is the weakest opponent, and as long as they take them seriously, they shouldn't have any problems

Vibo will start the new season rather weakened, because it'll be difficult to compensate for the departures of players such as Klapwijk, Urnaut and Kaliberda in the offense, as well ad Buti and Barone in the block. They were also affected by the financial crisis, so they had to turn to the younger forces. From Spanish Almeria, they brought the well-synchronized duo Trinidad De Harro and Villen, the young talents in Spanish volleyball. It's hard to expect that coach Blengini will put the youngsters in the starting line-up, but he will certainly make use of their talent. There's also another youngster, a member of the Italian U21 national team, the receiver Randazzo. In a nutshell, the starting line-up will include the experienced players Steuerweld-Gavotto-Cisolla-Ogurcak-Crer-Forni. Under normal circumstances, Farina will start as the libero, but he won't have the right to play until the fourth round. Therefore, they subsequently signed the Slovenian Miha Plot. The receiver Cisolla will also be unavailable in the first round.

-We did a great job in the pre-season, but those matches differ from the league matches in many aspects. Firstly, the teams don't play with their strongest line-ups, and secondly, a team needs a certain period of time to synchronize their game. Nonetheless, we hope that we'll keep up the same pace and start with a win, which would come as additional motivation and a confidence-booster. We defeated them both times last year, so we hope to repeat the same scenario today. However, we are aware of the fact that the first match is always a difficult one -said coach Gianlorenzo Blengini.

Vibo worked through the pre-seasonal matches in great style. In 11 matches, they won nine times, while the other two ended in a draw, which is normal for the pre-season where some of the matches are played in four sets.

While Vibo brought in some reinforcements in the squad, Verona's biggest reinforcement is the coach, Andrea Giani. He's a part of the Italian national team's headquarters, and now he'll be the guiding hand of Verona's game. Last year, Verona achieved only two wins, so they decided to completely change the squad and bring in young players as future collateral. Therefore, they brought in two experienced players, the setter Bonifante and the opposite Gasparini, who will act as leaders to these youngsters. We should also mention the receivers Ter Horst and White, members of national teams of the Netherlands and Australia, as well as the middle blocker Zingel, one of the few players who have been in the team since the previous season.

Coach Giani didn't try to hide the enthusiasm about coaching another club after a one-year hiatus:

-We are excited about the start of the season, we are on an adrenalin rush. Last year, I worked only with the national team, so I'm happy to be in a club this season. We've assembled an interesting team, with plenty of young players. I'm overjoyed with the team's enthusiasm. This is the first match, and we'll need some time to play as a team, in order to see where we stand. I believe that the match against Vibo will be decided via unforced errors which are common at the beginning of the season.

The pre-season is by no means an indicator of the rest of the season, but when you achieve only a single win in eight matches, your self-confidence can't be on a high level. They even suffered defeats from some second-division teams, and they didn't even stand a chance against stronger teams. They managed to secure a win in the last match, but Padova can hardly be the norm for this team.

If we look at their previous encounters, Verona won't have an easy job, because they failed to win against Vibo in 6 previous matches.

I can´t shake the feeling that Vibo will continue their good scores from the pre-season. Regardless of being weakened in comparison to the previous season, they still did not get beaten in 11 matches so far played. No going around that information, since the confidence amassed in the preseason is essential for good performances in the regular part of the season. Their team is experienced, spearheaded by Gavott and Ogurcak, and I expect them to win at home today. Verona were appallingly bad last season, this season their team has improved, but with so many young players on the team, you can’t expect any miracles in the regular season onset. Their experienced reinforcements, Bonifante and Gasparini will tip the balance in this game. They had 7 defeats in 8 matches up to now, and it is already clear that they will again rarely win this season. A minus on this bet is the absence of the receiver Cisolla and the libero Farina so I´d recommend a lower stake.
