Having come out with honors and having held their own against Romeo Sorrento is a sign of quality and growth for ErmGroup Altotevere, but in practice the Campania team is leading 1-0 in the semi-final series of the A3 Credem Banca play-offs, and the fact of having lost 2-3 does not matter: the defeat remains (regardless of the result), so this time it is the white and blues who must not make any more mistakes to avoid reaching the end of the season. And doing so in front of the home crowd would be even more bitter, despite the consistency of the opponent. Any regrets for the missed shot, or the awareness of having given their all? The answer is entrusted to the setter Jacopo Biffi. “Both,” the Lombard player points out, “because we attacked the match as coach Bartolini had told us to do. We were on the ball for the entire first set, we played it point by point and in the end we took it home in deuce. In the second set we were the victim of a noticeable decline, with Sorrento dominating from start to finish, but we were able to regain the right concentration in the third, gaining the minimum useful advantage and then maintaining it until the end. This showed that we were facing a strong team, but that we had also prepared well, knowing that it would not be a walk in the park.
