There are defeats that really hurt but does not damage your confidence. Potenza’s defeat in the playoffs 8th of finals game 2 is one of those. Tobaldi and co lost in four sets, which sent the series to a deciding game 3, but they could easily have won it as the second and third set ended with the minimum margin.
“It’s bad to say this after a defeat but we have to focus on the positive aspects of the game – said middle blocker Tobaldi – In the meantime, we will play the deciding encounter with the help of our supporters and we proved we could make it hard for them in their gym too. We conceded a big come back in the second set, they played really well, this was not only due to our mistakes. When you think of Fabroni’s two aces and the miraculous save with their feet on what looked a sure point at a moment where we were flying away on the scoreboard, you can only applaud the opponent’s effort”.
