The latest friendly game ended with Mantova on top 3-1 : 24-26; 26-28; 25-20; 22-25. Trailed two sets to nil, Bernardi’s men reacted well in the third before surrendering to a team led by Frosini and Antonov.
“It’s a step back compared to the game played against Verona – said Bernardi – but this is due to the fact that the training became more intense this week”.
