Another loss starting 2018 for Tonno Callipo Calabria Vibo Valentia, this time once again on the home turf at PalaValentia versus Wixo Lpr Piacenza.

Good game also for the middle blockers Viktor Yosifov, 9 points for the bulgarian, and 8 for Aimone Alletti, without forgetting Mvp of the game cuban Leonel Marshall, 14 points in the end. On the other side Tonno Callipo was able to come back in the second set tying the game at 1 with a 25-23 win, but despite the good performances by Benjamin Patch, 19 points, Oleg Antonov, 15, and Pieter Verhees, 10, coach Tubertini’s team wasn’t able to contain the offensive power of Piacenza.

Jacopo Massari (Tonno Callipo Calabria Vibo Valentia): “It was a balanced game, decided by some key plays. We had some problems with the rotation versus their best servers. They were also good down the net and in defence. It’s a tough moment for us, but we will stay united, we are here”.
Leonel Marshall: (Wixo LPR Piacenza): “We needed this game in a tough moment for us, we were in bad shape, and we were good to take home three points. I suffered alot in this period, I want to thank everybody, coach, teammates, staff, all of them helped
