Fifteen sets in seven days and a very sweet last partial for Samrtsystem Essence Hotels Fano which, in Macerata, makes a big splash and puts ten points between itself and the penultimate place: “It’s been a while since we won a tie break – says “The Wall” Stefano Mengozzi – and in Macerata it is always difficult to play. We think that they won almost all the points at home, our victory is the result of the work done in the gym over all these months. I dedicate the success to the club, the team group and the fans.”
Game with two faces with Macerata growing during the match: “True – continues the Romagna player – their opposite Klapwijk raised the level in serving and in attack, but I think that the match was balanced with a few balls that decided the partial and the match.”
Federico Roberti leading the way in the tie break: “He’s a guy who’s been working well for a long time – concludes Mengozzi – now he’s reaping the rewards. He may have some ups and downs, but he is handling them very well now.”
Mister Mastrangelo was also very happy at the end of the match and believes that the survival quota is now close: “Proud of what this group is doing – states the Apulian coach – let’s remember that four rookies are playing in the sextet, let’s not forget that. We were coming from the marathon against Ravenna and going to win in Macerata 3-0 would have been unreal. Then the group really wanted to bring home the victory and we did it with merit.”
