Third defeat in as many games for Potenza Picena. The mood is obviously not bouncy. While spiker Zampetti went out with a knee injury in the first set, captain Zamponi made his debut this season.

“I cannot tell you whether we don’t manage to hold on to big leads because we mentally lose our focus or if this is just bad luck – said Zamponi – We’re giving it all from first to last minute, we’re extremely disappointed. We lost Zampetti when he was playing extremely well, I tried to do my best but I’m only 50%. I would have liked to be able to do more, I know we had what it takes to beat Matera”.
