The friendly game against the Japanese national team ended on a 2-2 draw.
“It’s been a good test for us – said coach Fabio Soli – They have great fundamentals in their second line and they play with great consistency. They made very few mistakes and it is good for us because this forces us to learn to stay focused on our game. We had a slow start but did well to get on track then. But I’m disappointed with the last set, we have been careless. I think even in a friendly, it’s important to win a game 3-1 when you can do so. Still, this was a good test to prepare for Sunday’s league game against Brescia”.
