Verona’s middleblocker, Andrea Semenzato, looked back on the cup defeat against Cuneo “We started off with great determination for the first set and a half, but then we faded away while they stepped up on the serve”.

The team was back in work yesterday to prepare next Monday’s game in Padova “We had a rest for a few days after a very intense period – Semenzato continued – Now we’re ready to make our comeback in the league, thinking about staying up and about the playoffs too”.
