In an hour and twenty minutes, Verona sealed the deal against Vibo Valentia in Calabria. This was a crucial win in the race for the playoffs as Verona went 9 points clear of their opponent of the day, and they have the same advantage on Perugia. One of the protagonists with a couple of spectacular plays was Australian middleblocker Howard.
“I managed to keep a couple of balls alive in dig, which was great – Howard said – To do that well in this aspect of the game in front of Uriarte, who coached me for four years in the national team, was even more satisfying. He used to insist a lot on the dig, I’m glad I did well against him. Against Vibo, we played with great intensity and consistency, and we were also very composed. This is what we have to do to get into the playoffs”.
