Deserved win for Calzedonia Verona on Azimut Modena, with the team of Roberto Piazza never into the game, trying to react too late, in third set.
It was a perfect game for Verona, in every single fundamental, dominating the game thanks above all to a great game of Michele Baranowicz, a game without mistakes. Now Verona can be a dangerous outsider looking out to the playoff bracket. Not only the “big four contenders” for the final title, now Verona is a reality.
On the other hand, Modena suffered alot the serve of Verona, without being able to a threat in the serve, leaving to Calzedonia the opportunity to attack without pressure and executing in the best way
Luigi Randazzo (Calzedonia Verona): “This was a very important test for us, we are working hard in practice, we did it especially in last two weeks. We played as a team, we wanted this win, and we got it”.
Roberto Piazza (Allenatore Azimut Modena): “We played under our expectations, , we are Modena we cannot play this way. Any game is easy and we need to play every game like a no tomorrow game. This is not the real Modena, that’s for sure. We need to look deep inside us and solve the problema we saw in this game, like the side out play, which did not worked at all on today”.
