A1 F – Trieste visits Rapallo Water Polo

SERIE A1 WOMEN: FOURTH MATCHDAY
PAOLO ZIZZA: "WE GO THERE TO SEEK SUCCESS"

High-ranking confrontation for Pallanuoto Trieste in the fourth matchday of the Serie A1 women's league. On Saturday, November 9th, the "alabardate" girls will be playing against Rapallo Water Polo. The match will take place at the Municipal Pool, with kickoff set at 6:30 PM and live streaming on the Ligurian club's YouTube channel. The match will be officiated by referees Giuliana Nicolosi and Federica Rizzo.

The Samer & Co. Shipping sponsored team is preparing to face one of the most in-form teams at the moment, coming off three victories in the first three rounds of the league. It will be a tough away game on the Ligurian coast for the Trieste team, especially considering that Rapallo has already managed to defeat them (albeit narrowly) in the Euro Cup, despite Trieste's victory in the Italian Cup. "We have a really challenging match ahead of us, on a difficult field and against a team that has been performing very well so far," explains coach Paolo Zizza. "Nevertheless, we are ready, these are the opportunities that can allow us to take a further step up in quality. We are not at our best physically, but we are going there to seek success." It has not been an easy week for Pallanuoto Trieste, but despite a few injuries, Zizza will still be able to field the "typical" lineup.

Under Luca Antonucci, Rapallo has quickly established itself in the upper ranks of the league standings, thanks to an undoubtedly competitive roster. Among the most talented players are national team member Roberta Bianconi, the number one offensive threat for the yellow and blue team, the experienced Carolina Marcialis in marking, and Hungarian shooter Panna Kudella. Meanwhile, former Brizz Nuoto goalkeeper Helga Santapaola brings security to the entire defensive line.
