Next for Romagna after the two big points taken in Latina is Padova, a direct rival for the playoffs who had comfortably beaten Kantor’s men in the first meeting.
“We have mentally grown in recent games – said outside hitter Maurice Torres, currently top of the scoring charts – We manage to reset after a set lost or played poorly. We just talk about it frankly, we tell each other we can do better and we start over at 0-0. We’ve been doing well of late, we receive well, even if it’s tough without Enrico and Dore, but we’re training hard and want to do even better than our last outings. So we’ll try to take three points against Padova. They have a good team and they’re in form, they’ve been collecting excellent results, like in the derby against Verona. We’ll have to be extremely careful. We had been rather poor in the first meeting, we lost in straight sets. We’ll need to be sharp from the 9m from the start to prevent them from building their game too comfortably. Then we’ll have to do well at the net, which is something we can do”.
