We are talking about Matteo Maiocchi, the spiker who came at the beginning of December, who in this period is accelerating the times to find his optimal standard of performance. On last Sunday’s feat – especially on the reaction, once the Lombards had evened the set count – the Milanese attacker has no doubts: “We were good in a difficult match – says Maiocchi – just as it is not easy to close a series, especially against a well-equipped team. And Mantova has shown that it is. A good team game, the right competitive spirit and a stadium full of people: it was a deserved gift for us and for the crowd present, finally numerous. Now Romeo Sorrento awaits us: it is always stimulating to play matches against high-level opponents and that team from Campania was the best team in the entire A3 in the regular season. It will be fun and we will fight until the end”.
