The Bologna team is already back in the gym following Sunday’s positive performance in the quarter-final game 1 against Ravenna. In the playoffs, there are games every three days and players need to be ready, which is why Conte only gave half a day rest on Monday before preparing Thursday’s game 2.

“I wanted to get back in the gym straight away in order not to lose the rhythm – said the coach – I think this is probably what we lacked on Sunday. Fortunately, the age average is low, the boys are quickly back in shape, this allow us to get back quickly in the gym, even after five long sets”.
