On Sunday, the Italian Cup A2 will be at stake between Latina and Gioia del Colle. On route to the final, Ricci’s men knocked out Isernia in the quarters and Santa Croce in the semi finals.

“We have to start from the two first sets played against Santa Croce in the semi finals – said coach Ricci – We’ve probably expressed our best volleyball there. No we’re facing Gioia, in my opinion one of the best teams of this league. In Latina, they made it very difficult for us serving strong with the two Brazilians Diogo and Dias, but I wonder if they’ll be able to play at the same level with the pressure of the final. One thing is for sure, we’ll have to receive better in order not to suffer as much as seven days ago”.
