Civitanova throws itself away, Medei expresses great regret

Medei expresses great regret

Away from the’Eurosuole Forum, Cucine Lube Civitanova always shows two faces in the league. In the ninth round of the Regular Season, the red and white lineup climbs the roller coaster in Puglia and slows down its run with a tie break loss after 2 hours and 20 minutes of play on the PalaMazzola court against hosts Gioiella Prisma Taranto (19-25, 21-25, 31-29, 25-20, 15-11).

In full domination and ahead by two sets to zero on the road, as had happened in Perugia, Giampaolo Medei’s men started off uncertain in the third partial, regained it in extremis, but wasted three match balls losing certainties and allowing the Ionians, charged by their own public, to come back and take the success with a tailspin.

"C’è a lot of bitterness, first of all becauseé we had approached the match very well, leading 2-0, and then we inexplicably lost, when Taranto raised its level putting us in difficulty. I had asked the boys to take an extra step on the road, but we failed" says the Marche coach sorry.

"This beginning of the season has shown that sometimes this team manages to play at a very high level, turns out to be irrepressible, and when there’è to suffer it fails to stay in the game. In the championship there will always be to suffer, we must be aware of that, so a step forward is urgently needed, especially from the mental point of view, more than from the technical one. The calendar now presents us with an away game that we will play in three days, I ask the team for the right determination to win an important redemption" adds Medei.
