Hi Davide,
Initially position yourself where your bat is on the centre line. This will allow you to reach both sides of the table with your racket.
The server can change their position at the table so you then need to think about the angles of where the server can serve to and then position yourself in the middle of that area.
We have a tutorial dedicated to this topic called Receiving Position in our Introduction to Receiving section.

Fake Movements
After the ball has left the server's bat, they can no longer affect the spin that is on the ball. Any movements after the contact are referred to as fake movements and are meant to confuse you as the receiver. You need to focus on the contact to read the spin.
