Castellana Grotte came back from Latina with a 3-0 victory although the first two sets went down to the wire. Thanks to this victory, Castellana now dreams of catching up Latina in the league table. MVP Giulio Sabbi
Andreas Fragkos (Andreoli Latina): “They served stronger and better than us. This was a similar game than against Piacenza. Now, our minds turn to the games of the Cev Cup final to be played Wednesday and Sunday. Anything can happen, we needs to have free minds and just focus on playing well”.
Giulio Sabbi (BCC-NEP Castellana Grotte): “We came here knowing they could have their minds on the Cup final. We had to remain focused, especially in the first set, and that’s what we did. We did not expect to win on a sweep. Hopefully, the end of regular season will go fine, we just need to stay concentrated”.
