“Daniele’s recovery has allowed us to carry out a series of full training sessions, as hasn’t happened for two months now and the difference was visible – explained coach Fabio Soli during the presentation -. We tried to make the most of this period to bring the team into the best conditions currently possible. The players deserved this Final, they believe in it and want to live it to the fullest; they can do it because, when they play as a real group, they know how to do exceptional things. In front of us we will find an opponent like Jastrzebski who is performing very well and who has further cemented his certainties thanks to the recent victory of the second consecutive Polish championship. It is a very physical sextet, directed by the expert Toniutti, with powerful hitters and an excellent block-defense system. For this reason we will have to be able to be incisive with the serve and consequently work well on the second line.”
