“I am happy about this success – Comments coach Federico Bonini – The club deserves this beautiful showcase and the girls fully deserve it too for what they have been able to achieve from the first day of working together, through the progress, the beautiful victories they have achieved and also the ability , gritting your teeth in trouble. There is no doubt that we are not in the best moment of the season, the wheel is turning for everyone, it is a time in which we have to grit our teeth and try to do everything we can to stick together and, despite everything, not to make alibis find bad luck. I was afraid of Viadana, I know what he can do and that he has disrupted several teams so far. They pushed hard on serve and looked for bold attacking shots. We were ahead in the first set, but thanks to some naivety on our part the game got out of control and deservedly went to Viadana. The script wasn't much different in the second part, good things alternated with missed opportunities; We didn't manage to get ahead of our opponents in terms of points, but this time we finished 25-23. From the third set onwards Viadana let up a bit, we took action and got going and ran well until 3-1 in the final.
