A 3-0 defeat on the full debut in the A2 could sound like a bad news but instead Potenza Picena really made it difficult for sora, which is one of the main title contenders this season. The coach was afraid his team would show too much respect and would start off a little shy but that was far from the reality.

“We showed everyone that we can play good volleyball here – said Graziosi – But at the same time, we received our first taste of this new division. This is the A2. You can play face to face against a top team and lose the game like that just because of a couple of lapses”.
