Rana Verona achieves the third success in a row and qualifies for the Italian Cup. After a 0-2 defeat, Stoytchev’s team managed to win the game against the home team Lube Kitchens Civitanovaand give yourself a fantastic afternoon.
Trainer Stoychev: “First of all, I would like to thank our fans who follow us everywhere, even when we lose. I knew today would be a strange game and that’s why we prepared it differently than usual before the game. I made it clear to the boys that tactics only come into play if the team has positive energy on the pitch from the start until the last point. It doesn’t matter who plays and who doesn’t, but rather the result. I asked the boys to approach the first set as if it were a tiebreaker in a championship final, I needed a different energy. And except for the second sentence, they did what I asked. After the second set we had nothing left to lose and parted ways. It was a very strange but very beautiful game, I am very happy with the result.”
Lorenzo Cortesia: “I am very happy with this victory and qualification for the Italian Cup: winning on this pitch is never easy, they are a team of champions, so a 3-2 win with such a reaction shows a lot about the character of the team Team.” “To get into the Italian Cup with a good result after a mediocre start to the season means that we are working well.”
“Today was a team effort – continues the headquarters – We changed the formation and showed that the squad is long and everyone can help. Now we’re getting closer to the core of the season, all the teams are better and there’s more chemistry, just like us. We have to put a lot of pressure on but we have every chance, we just have to get back in the gym and work.”
Donovan DzavoronokMVP of the game: “We played good volleyball from the start. In my opinion we could have even won 3-1 or 3-0 because we played well in the first two sets, but I’m happy with this comeback and the win we brought home. We can all play and I think that’s a strength of our team.”
