They were perfect. Perugia defeats Cannes 3-0 and books a ticket for the Champions League’s next turn.
“This is not only a step towards our target -Massimo Caponeri says- which was the Final Four. It is not a wonder that the libero tonight was De La Fuente, we have many good players, all of them, and sometimes they need to rest. In Modena Messana will be on court, but as well as today I always have twelve players that can be useful in any moment”.
Pergia really flew high in this match, won in just three sets (25-14, 25-15, 25-16)
“After many so-and-so evenings -Martin Lebl says- we had to have such a reaction. To win is gratifying and we hope it helps us, it is not common to overpower an opponent this way”.
Now Modena and Padova. And then Champions League, with Belgorod.
