Jumping during the games but keeping the feet on the ground in the week would be a winning recipe for Potenza who went top thanks to its win in Tricase.

“I played even though I was not totally fit – said spiker Lorenzo Gemmi – I can only be thrilled with the way it went. We were solid and it was difficult to do well in this atmosphere. And it was even harder to win on the maximum margin against a team desperate to bounce back. They really wanted to get their first points at home but we have played with excellent decision making and accuracy”.
