On Sunday, Milan will play host to Modena, who won its first two games and stands top of the league table with Ravenna.

“We did not expect to lose the first one home against Molfetta, we really played poorly – admitted setter and captain Mattera – It went better last Sunday and if we had been a little more solid at the end of the third set we could have got back in the game. We proved we could stay close but then in the clutch time we make a couple of silly mistakes and we lose. This weekend we’ll have nothing to lose against Modena. They are favorites but we play home and we’ve seen how fantastic is the forum arena”.
