After losing Game 1 of the Serie A2 playoff semifinals at Pineto, in a packed arena, Virtus Aversa is looking ahead with confidence and self-assurance.
In the match played in Abruzzo, Pineto was without Allik, out injured, but found a replacement in Suraci capable of making a significant contribution, providing balance and offensive solutions to the opposing team. “The match was balanced, the scores show it: we’re playing on equal terms,” is the immediate analysis of captain Fernando ‘Fefè’ Garnica, who lucidly analyzes yesterday’s match (Wednesday, April 22). “The series is still long and open, but we need to be more consistent in some fundamentals, especially in serving.”
The serve itself is one of the key turning points: “Serving errors are part of the game, but we can’t afford runs of three or four consecutive errors from the same player. In those moments, we take pressure off our opponents and miss important break point opportunities. We need to raise the level of our serving, work on variations, and hit targets more accurately.”
