A1 F - Cosma Vela Ancona in the water on Saturday against Lazio

Second round of the national women's A1 water polo championship and on Saturday afternoon at 3:30 pm in the water at the Passetto pool, always behind closed doors but live streaming, against Lazio Nuoto. Coach Milko Pace's girls emerged defeated last Saturday from the first seasonal championship clash against the Italian champions Orizzonte Catania, same for Lazio Nuoto, a branch of the Lazio sports club that also boasts a Serie A football team, which lost the match against Bogliasco. Cosma Vela and Lazio, by the way, are the two newly promoted teams, both promoted from the A2 series playoffs last year. It is clear that the Ancona team will have to take advantage of this home round to try to collect the first points of this season, even though playing without an audience will not make their task easy. "The team is in good shape, we have worked very positively in these days - explains coach Milko Pace - and if there are no last minute changes, we should be at full strength for the first time. We will face at home one of the few matches within reach in this championship and we have the will to do it in the best possible way, I would like this tension that is perceived before this match to have a positive outcome, we will have to play a good game especially in defense, our opponents compared to last year have changed something, they have made two important acquisitions, we will have to adapt immediately to the game and make the most of our qualities in the best possible way."
