Despite the missed opportunity, the Argentine coach, Cannestracci, praised his players for the spirit with which they faced the encounter against Crema.

“It’s been a hard-fought game. My boys left it out on the floor so I really can’t blame them for anything. Crema has three excellent servers who often made it difficult for us. As the game wore on, we managed to limit them and play with determination in attack. At 2-1 up, though, we started to lack the patience I had indicated as the right antidote to their game. We hurried things up, maybe because we were tired, taking a few wrong options in attack”.
