It’s not true that all defeats are the same. Some hurt more than others. The one conceded yesterday against Molfetta is one of them because players and staff really believed this could be the one to represent a change in fortune. But Molfetta had everything under control in the first two sets and it’s only in the third that Castello gave it a fight, having a few set points cancelled.
“At the end of the game, I talked about the influence of a negative run on the confidence, and there is also some limitations in terms of quality – admitted coach Paolo Montagnani – Unfortunately, we did not managed to keep our emotions under control. We should have faced Molfetta in a totally different way, like we had asked the players. In the third set, we did not play that well either, but some took more responsibility in attack and on the serve. It has to be said as well that Maric felt a recurrent problem and had to be taken off, while Randazzo was not hundred percent either. But we have to take time to reflect on this poor result because we had worked well in training during the break. But it’s true that as we get closer to game day, you can feel the confidence of the boys diminishing”.
