The results that came from the other courts did not leave Massa with much optimism. On the other hand, the performance against Ravenna and the first two sets against Roma were extremely positive.

“We wasted another opportunity to turn things around in Rome – said chairman Vullo – Unfortunately we lack consistency, we do well in flashes. This defeat and Bassano’s victory sends us in a very uncomfortable situation in the table. The only way to get out of this situation is to get points against Santa Croce. Giving everything we have in this home derby is the only way to avoid going down directly”.
