Second three-point win for Perugia in the Champions League. Thanks to some excellent serves (8 aces) Bernardi’s men left the Belgium side of Roeselare no chance. De Cecco showed his brilliant touch, while Atanasijevic was unstoppable in attack (79%). Perugia remains perfect and top of group E. The next game will be on January 18 at home against Belgorod.

Lorenzo Bernardi (Sir Sicoma Colussi Perugia): “A very positive result against a team that plays good volleyball. It’s never easy against a team that has six of six players using the float serve. We had a couple of players not hundred percent fit but everybody worked hard. We have two more games to win before the end of the year then we’ll be able to give the boys a few days to rest a little bit ».
