A very sweet awakening for Yuasa Battery Grottazolina in the United Arab Emirates, the day after the second victory in as many games played at the Dubai International Tournament. After the 3-1 in the debut against a representative of the best talents (including international) of the local league, yesterday with the same score a very solid team like the Russian Nova was regulated. Coach Massimiliano Ortenzi spoke about the difficulties and intensity of the match: “It was a difficult match that also started badly because Nova has great physicality, they were serving very hard and the solutions in attack were not easy to find. We had a good first set on serve, then we dropped a bit. We recovered in the third set from 24-21 with two good service games, closing it with an ace by Fedrizzi. The fourth was easier because they gave up and we pushed hard on the accelerator. It’s a shame that the victories are still not enough for us to be sure of the semifinal: we must therefore continue to do something good if we want to move forward”.
