MVP: Alberto Polo (Kioene Padova)

Alberto Polo (Kioene Padova): “It was a tough game for us, we stayed focused looking forward to the score, but Castellana Grotte was very good, they fought onto every single ball. These kind of games make us grow up, these battles are always good for our mentality”.

Giorgio De Togni (BCC Castellana Grotte): “It’s normal this middle level of volleyball, we are in Superleague but it’s still early in the season, and the mechanisms of play are not so good sometimes. Padova was good in profiting all the chance we gave them to put a gap in the score. Now we have to work hard and restart from this loss, looking forward the start of Superleague”.
