Considered a difficult game at the eve, the trip to the capital proved to be a too steep a climb to be overcome. Lattari’s boys did fight but could not find the extra inspiration that could have opened the game. Over four thousand fans were there to push the Roma players thanks to the Volleyball World Championship countdown which took place just an hour before the game. A defeat that might come at the best moment given that there is plenty of time to analyse it. The season will be long and, if we look at the initial results from all courts, this will be a difficult and tight one. Next Sunday, Gallotta and co will host Crema.
