Among the protagonists of the victory (3-2) against Modena, as also underlined by Lanza (MVP) in the post-match, there is Nicola Salsi. The 28-year-old setter from Emilia was decisive with his “hybrid serve” in the tie break (15-11): he entered at 10-9, exited with Cisterna already on the way to victory (13-10). Salsi’s serve seriously posed problems for the guests’ reception, but Mazzone (block) and Bayram (block and attack) took care of the rest for the +4 (13-9) that started the triumph. “I’m happy to have contributed to the team’s victory on a beautiful evening,” emphasized Salsi, a former player of the match (along with Mazzone). “Modena is part of my life, it represented the most important period of my career, and it’s a top-quality team, which makes our victory even more significant. This victory is the result of a lot of work: we’ve made a lot of progress since the beginning, and the results have been visible game after game. We’ve grown both technically and tactically, as well as mentally, gaining courage and awareness of our abilities. Now we play with confidence, and the most difficult things become easy.
