“They have a really good team – admitted coach Massimo Della Rosa following the tie-break defeat against Tuscania – Beside, Monopoli can turn any group in a superb team. This is the kind of game we expected, credit to them for playing well, but we should have done better in the last two sets, our serve was poor. With a better serve, we could easily have had our chance and we proved it in the two sets we won”.
