The game against El Jaish (Qatar) ended on a 2-2 draw like a football match. The Italians were 2-0 up before coach Baldovin revolutionized his line-up.
“These tests allow us to work on our game and gives everyone an opportunity to find his rhythm – said the coach ahead of the league game against Cantù – Cantù does not make many mistakes, so we’ll need more consistency than against Potenza. We’ll need to be sharper on the serve and the block-dig area must become our strength”.
