While sport director felt he needed to apologize for the team’s poor performance last week in Castellana Grotte, he was a much happier man today after the good reaction from the players who defeated the league leaders, Padova.

“Everyone played brilliantly against Padova – he said – Both the stars of the team and the others, and the fans were great too. This was the kind of reaction we were all hoping for. Credit to the coach, who had the guts to take off a player like middle blocker Tomasetti and send on a player like Marco Cittadino who was making his full debut in the Serie A”.
