The Macerata players are given a day rest this Sunday to recover from the effort and get rid of the anger following the tie-break loss (22-20) at home against Piacenza, leaving 2-1 down and needing a breakthrough to stay alive in the semi-final series. They need a big win in Piacenza on Wednesday to get back to Osimo for the decider but the team still believe they can make it.

“Getting back on our feet is our specialty – said coach Giuliani – We have this capacity to make breakthroughs, always believe and never give up”.
