If in reading the match played at the PalaPanini we limited ourselves to commenting only on the third set, there would honestly be very little to save. But the third set is only the result of the fragility of those who, once they reach their peak performance, are overwhelmed at the photo finish and mentally collapses. The Super League is this one, as soon as you give up an inch the others will shake you, because you play at a high level the Yuasa Battery has amply shown that they have them in the ropes, but maintaining that level consistently is something you learn over time. Therefore, from the temple of Italian volleyball we return with zero points, but also with some lessons, the first of which is illustrated by coach Ortenzi himself: “In the second set we managed to have a few opportunities, we touched several balls against the block which we then didn’t defend, we counterattacked with little clarity some situations that perhaps could have changed the course of that set. Then, having lost that, we let ourselves go a little, we started to close the attacks, we took a few too many blocks, and we went down. This shouldn’t happen, we told ourselves that even if it’s difficult we always have to think about the next set, the next ball, but we have to get used to it. And Modena taught us this tonight.”
