The SuperLega Credem Banca show returns and the new season of Rana Verona begins. A few days after the official presentation of the team and jersey, Coach Stoytchev’s boys are ready to take the field for the first day of the championship. The La Scala team will be on stage tomorrow afternoon at 4.00 pm at PalaMazzola, guest of Gioiella Prisma Taranto, this year coached by Coach Mastrangelo.
PRE-MATCH STATEMENTS
Aimone Alletti (Gioiella Prisma Taranto): “The debut week has finally arrived and we are preparing to face the first home match against Verona, a team that has renewed and strengthened itself by investing a lot; The debut matches are always special where whoever manages to transform tension into positive energy first usually manages to start better, so it will be essential to be able to maintain clarity despite the great desire to do well that we will have. We will arrive ready, this week with full ranks so we are training with all the squad available”.
Radostin Stoytchev (Rana Verona): “We are all very excited to start. The first match is always important, even if we clearly don’t have the match rhythm yet. Taranto is a team that has changed a lot, has made important signings and is a club that tries to improve the technical-sporting aspect. A very complicated race awaits us. In this period, we have many athletes who are not in excellent condition due to the intensity of close competitions around the world. Now we are working to get them back into shape ideal and make them recover from the many efforts accumulated. We have created some mechanisms and established a game system, but to put it into practice as we want, we need a lot of repetitions”.
EX OF THE DAY
The only player to have worn the shirt of both teams is Aimone Alletti, a central defender who lived in the Scaliger walls in the 2018/2019 season.
