De Federico played without much energy in the tank following the efforts made in the quarter-final series. Padova deserved the win and goes 2-0 up in the series.
“We lacked energy, we did not play a good game – confirmed coach Del Federico – But I congratulate Padova, which is playing excellent volleyball. Now we’ll have a few days to rest and prepare Sunday’s game. We’ll try to play differently and make the series last longer”.
