“We really needed this win – said Enrico Libraro about Isernia’s win over Bologna – We played near to perfection in the first two sets, then we faded in the third but we did well to turn things around in the fourth”.

The three points will boost the players who had a difficult start to the season, and the injury to the starting outside hitter, Mario Marolda, did not help. However, his substitute was just signed: it is Stefano Mari, spiker born in 1975.

“We needed him to come in for Marolda – explained Fraraccio – because we were lacking a spiker to use above all when we receive and dig, more than in attack, and Mari possesses these characteristics. Given that he is the oldest he will also bring his experience to the younger players, just like Mario did”.
