Male volleyball, leader of the group!

“Am I dreaming or am I awake?”

It’s the question we all woke up to today but then we look at the FIPAV calendar and it’s just like that: A.S. LUISS beats VOLLEY LA STORTA by 3 sets to zero.
A soul, a mind, a goal shared by each of the members of the team that today shows us as the leader provisionally waiting to know how it will end up in the field of Monterotondo (+2 before this game).
A perfect match from every point of view, no disregard, always ready to defend and attack, closing and recovering balls, one for each other, for 3 points, for a season from which we do not want to be awakened.
Let’s see what happened on Thursday evening:
Entering the building already felt tension and concentration, we both knew that the booty up for grabs was very important for the continuation of the championship, in fact, sorry to report that, after a few exchanges of the first set, the game comes alive because of the lack of fair play of the guests shown in the failure to self-declare on a touch to the wall. Enraged, but not distracted nor even less won by the nervous we do not leave room for hope to the boys of Volley La Storta, always keeping the score in our favor and always above.
The second set was crucial. Unfortunately we have sinned some small inaccuracy in managing the heat for the set so much fought, so, now on 24 equal, we take a bitter red card that sees the guests in advantage of one and with the set point at hand. But be careful, let’s not forget what we’ve been writing for 5 days now, this is not a team that gets down and discouraged by mistakes and in fact, the set ends at the advantages 29/27 for our Azzurri. A blow to the opponents, a charge of adrenaline for us.
In fact, the 3 set immediately seemed to be without history, as if on the other side there had been another team. Let’s go above by 10 round points with some unarmed opponents to De Marco’s manual dunks, to the sumptuous defences of an absolute certainty such as the free Abronzino and above all of the central Gragnola, who has taken everything and even more between walls and attacks has knocked down everything, especially the morale of the opponents, clearly discouraged by his power under the net. A cot.
Despite the timid comeback of La Storta we also bring home the third and final set leaving only a great regret to those who came to Palaluiss to play it.
Today we don’t feel like pointing out a single man game but we want to reward the whole group, just everything. The results, in a team sport like this, do not come thanks to the individuality of individuals but only with the precision and sacrifice of all, including the boys sitting on the bench, but with the soul on the field.
It was the game that coach Narduzzi asked for, concentrated and ready until the triple whistle.
Repetita iuvant: this group (rectius: family) today, has no limits. The team thanks its readers and wishes you a happy holiday! Appointment on January 7 against Monterotondo.
