He scored 29 points in the win against Milan, earning himself the title of best player of the day with full merit. Even more deserved if you consider that scare at the beginning of the game with his ankle turning and which made the whole PalaSavelli tremble. But Dusan Petkovic has already paid his dues with bad luck this season and has no intention of giving up. He returns to the court at the end of the first set and begins to push heavy balls to the ground in key moments of each set.
“It was a very nice feeling to play in front of an audience that always pushes in this way. We are very happy to have won against a very strong team like Milan which plays excellent volleyball. My joy is truly for the team who give their all and work so hard but above all for these fans who always follow us tirelessly.”
Four stages still on Yuasa’s journey to secure their stay in the Super League and the first of these stages is next Sunday’s big match against Perugia, scheduled for 4pm in a PalaSavelli which promises to be packed with passion.
“In my opinion we are now playing at a really high level, as we have been trying to do since the beginning of the championship. For a team that arrives in the Super League for the first time it is absolutely not easy, the level is truly very high and all the matches are of an incredible level. We want to continue at these levels against Perugia too, but in general we want to continue playing this volleyball. We always try, in every match: all the matches are absolutely intense and against Perugia we will play at our best.”
