“This beginning of season was like a cold shower – said middle blocker Tobaldi on the day of his 28th birthday – Given the quality of our game we did not deserve to end up bottom after three rounds. We made it difficult for ourselves against Atripalda and Matera, but we have time and are keen to redeem ourselves. I am personally back at my best after my ankle problems. Next is Monza, an ambitious team with experienced players. I’d love to get a breakthrough on the week of my birthday”.
