  • Mauro Berruto Presenta La World League 2013 Degli Azzurri
    Mauro Berruto presenta la World League 2013 degli azzurri Modena. La nazionale seniores maschile è pronta ad affrontare l’intensa stagione 2013, un’annata che sarà caratterizzata da quattro manifestazioni: World League, Giochi del Mediterraneo, Campionati Europei e Campionati del Mondo Under 23. Il primo impegno sarà proprio la 24esima edizione della World League, storica manifestazione che quest’anno si presenta con un format rinnovato. Il numero delle formazioni partecipanti è stato infatti allargato a 18 suddivise in tre pool (A,B,C). Oltre al numero di squadre, diverso sarà anche la formula della manifestazione che non prevede più il doppio incontro di andata e ritorno, ma due match nello stesso paese con le squadre più alte nel ranking che giocheranno tre turni in casa e due in trasferta. Sei i week end di gara della Fase Intercontinentale prima della Final Six in programma a Mar del Plata, in Argentina dal 17 al 21 luglio. Proprio la riveduta formula di gioco permetterà agli azzurri di tornare a giocare in diverse piazze del Paese: Firenze, Torino e Modena sono città abituate ad ospitare grandi manifestazioni internazionali mentre Sassari è l’assoluta new entry della manifestazione. Savani e compagni, inseriti nella pool B, saranno impegnati con Russia, Cuba, Serbia, Germania e Iran. Il debutto per i ragazzi di Berruto sarà il 7 giugno a Modena (ore 20.30) contro i tedeschi, sfida che sarà replicata il 9 (ore 18) a Torino. Sempre nel capoluogo piemontese il 14 (ore 20) sarà la volta di Italia-Cuba, incontro che due giorni dopo si terrà a Firenze (ore 20).
