Disappointment all round in the staff and players of the blues following the Città di Castello game. Bad luck keeps chasing Crema as injuries and dubious referee decisions came disturbing the outcome again.
“I don’t think any other team is experiencing such an absurd period like we are – said sport director Michele Rota – Stefano Patriarca is hardly back from a long spell out, and here is the other middleblocker Aimone Alletti injured on his knee. That’s not it: after hardly 48 hours, in yesterday’s first set, we lost Mattia Rosso too, with an ankle problem, though he came back on later on in the game. Despite all this, the team reacted and won the third set with character and catching Perugia up in the fourth, it was very close to send the game to a tie-break, so credit to the boys for trying hard right until the end”.
