The three points that Emma Villas Aubay Siena managed to win in Piacenza against a Gas Sales Bluenergy team who, although they took the field without being able to count on Leal and Lucarelli, had just achieved important successes first at home in Trento and then in the Coppa Italia, are very precious Cev in Romania.
Siena in Emilia Romagna accomplished the feat by managing to attack with 48%, keeping very well on the block with 9 winning blocks (4 by Fabio Ricci) and touching many balls and defending well on many attacks by the Piacenza players, kept at 46 % on offense.
Giulio Pinali was judged mvp of the match. Emma Villas’ opposite Aubay Siena finished the match with 25 points, and played a stellar fourth set. Often in the final point to point, before the final 31-33, Finoli went to look for him and he replied present. “These are three very important points for us and for our standings – commented Pinali at the end of the race. – We are trying to approach each match with the right spirit. We have to learn a lot from this match, from what we’ve done and fielded and then re-propose it in the next matches. We will have to work hard to be able to repeat performances of this type also in the next releases. We hope to gain greater enthusiasm and awareness in ourselves, we had lost some confidence, now we are finding it again and we must continue on this path”.
