Mario Barbiero (Biosì Indexa Sora): “I’m not satisfied because as usual we played a good volleyball, being in the lead but without closing the game.

Fabio Soli (Bunge Ravenna): “It was a big fight, I expected this type of effort by Sora, because we are not so brilliant on the court in this moment, we should come back as we were a couple of months ago. On toeday we were nervous sometimes, because of something happened on the court, and this did not help. sora played a good game, they don’t dserve the pace in the standings”.
