Ready for another round

The Salento derby held no surprises. Generally, in a derby, the ranking advantages are challenged, influenced by psychological factors, the desire to excel in a geographical or environmental context, and the frantic desire to overturn a foregone conclusion. Green Volley certainly embraced these factors with great will, attempting to compensate for an opponent’s supremacy that was only challenged in the third set, but on the court, they had no positive effect. Aurispa Lecce’s superior scoring ability played a decisive role, thanks to a monstrous reception from Zornetta (92% positive, 70% perfect), supported by a highly active Donati (74% positive, 35% perfect), who rarely forced Bernardis to distribute.
