Coach Giuliani believes in it: "I still won't give up"

Alberto Giuliani maintains high regard for the performance of his team in a press conference with justifiable praise for a team that once again held its own, at least for an hour, against the best equipped team of the Super League: "This level is still not enough to keep up with Perugia – the coach said – but in truth the boys were really good at keeping their concentration very high between the first and second sets, then when they went up on serve especially with the players who can always make the difference, we struggled more. Semeniuk mended the gap in the second, Giannelli always hurts, there's Plotnytskyi. We also made some mistakes, in the second set, but let's talk about details". All this despite a difficult week: "We're not having excellent weeks in the gym, with many little problems. Look, I would have liked to get to these matches better: Rinaldi didn't attack all week, he was only available in the match; Sanguinets He returned only on Friday with his first full training session and we hope he completes his recovery; Uriarte had a back problem on Thursday". What do we need to work on then? "We will have to work on keeping good form reception, if we are competitive in reception we are also competitive in attack, while if we detach the ball we become more vulnerable". On the change of Anzani with Sanguinetti, no connection with the argument with Gianelli under the net: "No, they are friends, I wanted that De Cecco had more solutions in attack with Sanguinetti, but there was no way to serve him". Finally, the act of faith and stubbornness of Giuliani: "Of course, we have always lost against Perugia, we still play against Perugia, but I do not give up, I am a stubborn person, and I want to bring them back to PalaPanini".

Lorenzetti. The Sir coach said: "We gave a good version of ourselves in the first set, then the second set many will consign to the annals saying that 'Perugia has the balls', but you also need a bit of luck to overturn partials like that. Up until that point Modena had been amazing in reception, putting impossible balls in De Cecco's head in a set in which we had little to reproach ourselves for. Series closed? You have to be careful, I'm old and I know it. Of course I wouldn't change with Modena since they are ahead 2-0, but they will have one or two opportunities to reopen the series. Colaci and Kaziskyi so strong at 40 years old? You need to have talent, then you need two things: knowing how to manage your private life and bringing simplicity to what is ultimately a game, having fun. The older they get the more they are able to give this simplicity to others too".
