“Our approach to the game was not the best – said libero Maurizio Latelli about Verona’s defeat against Trentino – and we faced an aggressive team, who started off strong from the serve and who made very few mistakes”.

Sottile and co will try to bounce back on Tuesday at Modena. “We’ve been working physically with intensity for the past two weeks – continued Latelli – against Treviso we had not faded like we did yesterday. Modena will be a dangerous game, against a team that is desperate for points. We’ll think more about getting the points than play entertaining volleyball. We have to do whatever is required to win this one”.
