“He can become a crowd favourite here – had said coach Lattari about Jardel – He has a great competitive spirit and he has the ability to convey it to the fans”. Given the outcome of the first set against Ravenna, we are forced to say that the coach from Flamengo was right once again. It’s 20-24 for Babini’s team, which is easing to a first set win, when Evandro Guerra goes to the 9-meter line. His strong serves helped co-national Jardel to score at the net: a couple of spikes and blocks later and the roar of the crowd could be heard kilometres away at the 26-24. Unforgettable turnaround!
Castellana won it and Jardel was named MVP: “Whatever happens on court, it’s thanks to the team. What happens on court is the result of the work done during the week of all the players, even those who don’t play on Sunday”.
