“Unfortunately because of quite a few physical problems we have not been able to train properly in recent weeks – said coach Kovac following the home loss against the Italian champions of Macerata – And the consequences are there to be seen on Sundays, all the more so when you play a team of Macerata’s caliber. The atmosphere was fantastic, you could see you were at a top level A1 game. Shame we lacked that killing touch in the first set. On Sunday, we’re up against another top quality side, we’ll be going to Modena to try to bounce back”.
