117 – 110. If volleyball was like basketball or boxing, Bologna would have won this semi-final game 1 against Roma. Unfortunately, in volleyball the winner is the one that takes 3 sets out of 5. Yesterday, two miserable points were enough for Roma to celebrate and be ahead in the series.
“It doesn’t change anything for us – said the Bologna coach – To seal the series, we would have had to win away anyway so we’ll go there to win it. We proved we could play face to face with our opponent. My team knows for well that it’s not important where you play but how you play”.
