Game 2 is already behind us, and Rana Verona is now focusing on the third round of the Playoff Semifinals against Cucine Lube Civitanova, taking place tomorrow at 6:00 PM at the Pala AGSM AIM. Coach Soli spoke at a press conference on the eve of the match.
These are his words: “We’re not going into Game 3 feeling badly, but with the awareness of having a major opportunity at home and, at the same time, the need to raise the level of our volleyball compared to Civitanova. We’re also aware that Lube is improving their game. In Game 1, we could see their struggles related to the Champions League, while Game 2 wasn’t a particularly brilliant match, with many errors on both sides. We should therefore expect a stronger opponent than in the first two matches. For our part, it’s not just about reducing the number of errors, but above all about maintaining a level of focus that we’ve lacked: we’ve often been too hasty to close out points, looking for hasty solutions instead of making the most of the opportunities we’ve created. Much will depend precisely on the quality of focus we can bring to every phase of the game. It will be crucial to do what we know how to do well: improve our attacking efficiency and make our serve more incisive. In particular, when our main hitters make a few more errors, we need more consistency from the others, because it’s thanks to this that we’re able to do our job well. to them that we managed to create good break situations”.
