“The game was in the balance in the first two sets – said coach Fracascia following the opening game defeat at home against Corigliano – if we’d been the one to go 2-0 up, nobody could have complained. Then we faded in the third. Unfortunately, right now I knew some players would not have been able to play the whole game. And indeed, Peda was the first to struggle with abdominal problems, which had already kept him out until a few days ago in the pre-season. We struggled in reception and were not effective in attack, but in my opinion, despite the negative result, there was some positive to take out of this game”.
