Sparkling Milano: It could have not gone better than that: 3-0 victory against Tiscali Cagliari in front of almost 2000 celebrating people.
Insalata and teammates played like lions despite Dragan Travica absence. Paolino Casagrande replaces him very well also with the help of danish spiker Jesper Lundtang become setter since Travica surgery.
Great match for Peter Platenik with 19 points scored and 75% in attack and 96% in passing. Good match also for spanish opposite Iban Perez, with 15 points scored and libero Matteo Tabanelli.
Cagliari had the chance to reopne the match only in the second set when they were ahead 23-21 but two Platenik points in a row give the set to Milano.
Coach Ricci declared: “It is a very positve result, achieved despite Travica absence. Without him the game has been simple but concrete and I am happy for the way the whole team played today”.
