The Canadian middle blocker admits: “They pushed hard on serve, putting pressure on us but we remained attached and even ahead in the second set, despite the heavy absences.” The conditions of Fedrizzi and Petkovic
Yuasa Battery center Danny Demyanenko was among the most on the ball in the match against Verona, finishing with 83% in attack, 10 points on the scoresheet and 3 blocks made as well as 2 aces scored. A score that caught everyone’s eyes but was not enough to stop Verona, capable of imposing itself with the maximum margin.
“It was definitely a very challenging race. Verona showed up at the PalaSavelli putting a lot of pressure on us, especially on serve and this aspect put us in difficulty in some situations during the match. Considering the various partials, it should be considered that in the first we were often very close in score and then in the second we were even ahead for a long time, only giving in at the end. These are undoubtedly positive signs, considering the two significant absences we had to make up for. We must look ahead and work as hard as we can to continue improving our game.”
