Verona collected two defeats in the Ledda Trophy and will resume training tomorrow to start preparing Sunday’s opening game in Rome.

“We still missed some players in the tournament – said libero Smerilli – Unfortunately, we fail to face certain situation the way we should have. We were 2-0 up against Castellana Grotte and in the fourth set we did not manage to keep our advantage all the way through. It was tight against Perugia. The other teams had their complete roster available, this is something you can’t underestimate”.
