It all ended among the applause, both from the home and away fans as Città di Castello went out of the title race, eliminated by Piacenza.
“In the first two sets, the team expressed most of its potential to try to turn things around against a top quality opponent – explained coach Andrea Radici – But there was something missing at the end of the sets. In the first, it was down to Vettori’s class on the serve and a bit of luck on their part. A net and a ball falling just in for one centimeter hurt us at the end of the second too, while the lead and momentum was all Piacenza in the third. But this was a positive performance, we played with pride, we proved we could play good volleyball in any given situation”.
