The A2 seemed to announce winter time in Reggio Emilia as Montagnani’s boys, without spiker De Marchi, came back to Padova with an encouraging straight set victory.
“It’s been a great game. Very tough – said coach Montagnani – We had a very strong and careful opponent in front of us but we stayed focused all the way and that is exactly the best way to start off”.
