Bob Fant’s team, just like they did in the first leg against Isernia, loses the first match of the second leg.
To tell you the truth, this defeat is different from the one dated 30th of september because the Blues could not count on Cazzaniga then and they had Jankovic with the flu.
Fant had decided to start with Aiello for Cazzaniga and captain Egeste for Finazzi, the latter a move to give the MB a break after a busy schedule.
Rota comments: “It is fair for the people who were not present at PalaBertoni to be aware of what happened on a balanced score: an attack fro Taviano is considered out and the ref gives Crema the point, a few moments later, following a request by Taviano’s bench who saw our block touching it, the assistant ref, who initially gave the point to Crema, talks to the FIPAV’s men who tells everyone he saw the block touching the ball. At that point, the ass. ref, changes his decision and gives Taviano the point”.
“That is a first for me! After witnessing such a thing, I am hoping that everyone will think about this kind of thing very seriously because the start a negative reaction amongst the supporters and the Clubs themselves.
We will go to whoever is in charge and we will signal this event even though Taviano deserved to win in the end but I hope what happened today will be the subject of a careful thinking from the movement: let everyone do what they are paid to do”!
