“There’s nothing wrong with losing against the World Champions – said middle blocker Buti – But we were left with a bitter taste in the mouth. It hurts to lose this way, especially when you are tied at 1-1 and you lead in the third set. We wanted the tie-break, especially when you think of how we cut a five-point deficit in the fourth. I really liked the aggressive attitude of the team, though, fighting for every point”.
