Without Luciano De Cecco, Alexander Atanasijevic (who did not traveled with the team, remaining in Perugia working for the next Superleague games) and without Ivan Zaytsev, sat on the bench all game long, Sir Sicoma Colussi Perugia lost at the tie break in Belgium versus Knack Roeselare in 5th Leg of the 2017 Men’s Champions League Pool E.
This loss is not effective for Perugia, and gave the chance to Lorenzo Bernardi to taste some players from the bench like serbian setter Mitic or the opposite Chernokozhev.
Next and last game for Perugia before the Final Four in Roma next 29th and 30th april, will be the home game versus Ankara of former and unforgotten coach Slobodan Kovac.
