A lot of quality but not as much composure in the clutch moments of the game for Potenza Picena, who was defeated 3-1 by Ortona in its last friendly game of the pre-season.

“I was extremeòly motivated today, it’s my 22nd birthday – said Middle blocker Augusto Quarta who had indeed a good game – I really wanted to do well. We’ve been a bit tense when it was tight but we stayed close in every set, we only lost them on details. We’ll try to cut down on mistakes and I’m sure we’ll manage. Our team has a lot of talent, and I am sure that even a defeat like this one against Ortona can help us to grow as a group and help us not to repeat the silly blunders we made at important moments”.
