A first playoff match to frame for Domotek Reggio Calabria, who beat CTE Negrini Acqui Terme in a very tight match, closing 3-1. The absolute protagonist was Enrico Lazzaretto, author of a superlative performance, with decisive double aces and an undisputed leadership on the field that combines perfectly with a real group, between a block and a reception, a perfect set and a finalization where Zappoli, he and Captain Laganà are masters.
In the heat of the moment, Lazzaretto does not hide his emotion: “There is tiredness, but it is transformed into positive energy. It was a crazy match, beautiful, truly indescribable. We are a group that has a thousand lives!”
The third set was a real blockbuster: “I don’t even remember the final score because it was so “infinite”. We missed a few set points, but we were good at not giving up, at keeping our heads under pressure on our opponent. Then in the fourth set we demonstrated our individual and team strength.”
The key? “If we play like this, with a smile and the desire to have fun, we are really strong.” And about his two aces at the crucial moment: “Was the one on the 23rd the best of the year? Oh God, I don’t have the numbers, but maybe I equaled my record!” He laughs, then adds: “In those moments I don’t think about anything, I shoot hard and every now and then it goes well.”
Despite the absences of Esposito and Stufano, Domotek has found precious resources: “Pugliatti played very well today, we are giving everyone confidence and they are repaying us.
