Massimo Eccheli (coach Vero Volley Monza): “Compared to Korea we have recovered Rorhs who, even if he is not yet in top form, has helped us increase the level of training. He is a player with great potential and even today he did very well. Now we have a week of training ahead of us with the aim of further improving our game.”
