Latina had the better of the Japanese national team in straight sets. The Italians always managed to keep their young opponents at a safe distance. Viktor Yosifov and Yuki Ishikawa were elected best player of their respective teams by the press.
“This was a good training session which interrupted our routine of the week as we prepare for our last game of the regular season against Perugia. I had asked information to Club Italia and Sor about this team. They have some interesting players for the future. They would need to play in important leagues like the Italian, Polish or Russian to be able to get better”.
