Coach Costi: “Mental work needed” 

The defeat in Castellana Grotte in spite of being clearly ahead in the scoreboard really hurt. “Bad loss, we had the game in hand – confirmed coach Costi – We were playing rather well, but all of a sudden we lost our way, all the good things of the first two sets were gone. They made a switch in reception with Casoli in and that proved to be the key to the game. We could not trouble their reception and it was tough to block and dig on their spikes. Besides the result, what I did not like was the attitude in the last sets”.
