This time the glass is half if not completely empty. After the defeat against Mantova, there is plenty to worry about given what we have seen on court in the 12th round. An unrecognizable team in the first two sets, determined to recover but less determined once at tie break.
“We cannot start a match like we did with Mantova – admits Moretti -we went on court with little aggressivness, we were discontinue with our service and very inefficient with our blocking, something we always counted on for results. On the third set we did what we did not do in the first two but we were just the same team”.
Each match has its own story and MAntova was a first for Moretti: “This defeat has nothing to do with what we did against Pineto and Catania. We have a team that if not super concentrated, struggles and today they were not concentrated. We are decreasing compared to previous matches. We certainly have our limits but we managed to hide them up to now.
When we started working on our blocking, the only technique we can hang onto, we stopped Hietanen first and Benito in the 4th set, changing nothing in our game and tactics but just becoming a bit more effective with our service. In the 5th set we lost lucidity again though”.
