THE PROTAGONISTS-
Leonard Barbieri (Coach CDA Talmassons)- « We are very happy with this qualification because nothing is taken for granted, from having arrived in this position (in the standings) to having passed the first round. These results gratify the commitment of these girls and of all the people who work with this team in a scientific way. Regarding the match, the first set was flawless. From the second they have changed the way they play with their setter who has changed the distribution, putting us in difficulty. Then we managed to recover and finish well. In the third they have grown a lot especially in attack by raising the level of play and forcing risky plays that have allowed them to get point by point. Well done to my girls who arrived with the right attention and serenity in the decisive moments ».
Dino Guadalupi (Coach Hermaea Olbia) – « SWe were certainly looking for a different approach to the race especially in the initial phase. I want to congratulate Talmassons who proved to be much cleaner technically and more precisely in the various phases of the game, deserving of the victory. We are again contracted games, staying afloat with discrete shifts of service. In some situations, however, we suffer a lot in reception, even with direct errors. During the match we managed to fix some things. Today, however, we took a step back against the wall. We certainly didn’t play a great match from a technical point of view today; we definitely save the third set where we played it point by point. There is still a bit of regret for having tried it only in the finale ».
