Never easy winning

Winning is never a given, and settling the score by winning 3-1, with authority and character, after a first set that started well but then became complicated towards the end, is certainly important food for thought. This is confirmed by the extremely clear and objective analysis of Juventus captain Simone Giannelli, who yesterday evening, immediately after the match, highlighted the team’s ability to react after losing the first set by two points: “We made life difficult for ourselves in the first set: things were going well, then we got stuck a bit with sideouts, and we didn’t capitalize on a few opportunities we had in the break phase. So they did some good things there, but we still ‘put them back on track’ and they won that set on deuce. We did well to maintain our composure and composure after that.” That’s what we’ve been saying to each other and what we’ve been keeping constant in these last few games, to always be there, clear-headed and focused on what we have to do, so this was another demonstration, because starting 1-0 down, at home, against Prague, well, it’s not an easy thing because maybe on paper someone doesn’t expect it.
