Latina is the first qualified for the A2 Cup final. Led by Rosalba (56% in attack ad 43% in reception) and Giombini (14pts, 3 Blocks), Ricci’s men had the better of Santa Croce showing it was superior in every area of the game. Santa Croce paid the price for inconsistent performances from De Paula and Lukianetz, and most importantly, for 15 early mistakes in the first set that resulted in a loss of confidence.
Daniele Ricci (Andreoli Latina): “We’ve only done the first step towards a big target. In this Final Four, there are the four best teams of the moment. I think Santa Croce is one of the 2 or 3 best teams of this league. Gioia del Colle and Roma surely have the potential to stand higher in the table. I think whoever we’ll meet in the final, it will be tough. Apart from the result, I am not totally satisfied with my team. We played two excellent sets, then in the third, it’s as if we were in the clouds. We can’t afford to do this on Sunday, and neither in the league”.
Leondino Giombini (Andreoli Latina): “We’re very happy, we really wanted this final, which will be even more important than usual because it will be inserted in the Champion Volley Land event. We played great volleyball for two sets with the right intensity. It was the only way to avoid struggling under Santa Croce’s aggressive style”.
Paolo Emilio Baldiccini (Codyeco Santa Croce): “This result reflects the difficulties we’re going through right now. We’re not as brilliant and confident in our game. We have to find alternative sin our rotation in order to end this bad run of form”.
