There is first this feeling you have when you take part in an important event for which you had to work hard and sweat to qualify. Playing in a cup final with the national anthem always sticks in the mind of an athlete. Then, there is this feeling that 2012 could have been even more beautiful…
“In these cases it’s difficult to get over the disappointment by the simple analysis of the game – said team manager Valdemaro Gustinelli – First, we have to give credit to our opponents, they did not have a monster game, but they certainly were better than us tactically and more than anything else, they had the “eye of the tiger”, more than us. And I take the opportunity to personally congratulate two people: Mario Scappaticcio, it’s nice to see setters like him, and Roberto D’Angelo, a former teammate of mine, great guy and a great example on court, he really enjoys playing the game. Anyway, in one area we have won yesterday, the fans. Our supporters are number 1 in Italy, this is a great satisfaction”.
