It couldn’t have gone better than this. After Catania, Siena also abdicates to Fano, leaving the home team with all the stakes and very precious points for survival.
The final result of 3 to 0, however, should not be misleading because in every set there was a battle, as captain Manuel Coscione points out: “Close match – begins the Piedmontese – we were good at always staying there despite the difficulties . With Siena we pushed and situations were created to our advantage that had never occurred at the beginning of the season.”
The public is a determining factor: “I confirm – the Virtussino director replies confidently – it transmits adrenaline to us, even in delicate moments. If I think about the second set, ahead 24 to 21, the opponents recovering but we are good at pushing and closing.” Six points in two matches, something unthinkable on the eve of the match: “We have to believe in it and think one match at a time – says Coscione – but this is not enough because the teams behind us win and remain in full swing”.
After a period of adaptation to the new category, the Venetian Pietro Merlo is emerging with positive performances: “The level of the A2 series is high – states the spiker from Fano – but we are growing, we are confident and aware of our means. But the championship is long and anything can still happen.”
Merlo also makes a special mention: “With a crowd like this – concludes Merlo – it’s easy to play, but my teammates were also good and really gave their all today.
