COACH SANTARELLI STATEMENTS
“In the last two games we have seen the real Novara, what happened in the previous games with them is a surprise: I expected a combative Igor and I have always maintained that they were among the strongest, a team built to win. They have shown it this season, you don’t win against the top 3 in the class and a random CEV Cup. In game-1 we didn’t see the real Novara and I had warned the girls, in game-2 it was another story at their home and so the series went on different tracks than everyone expected, I knew it would be a hard-fought semifinal. In game-3 we saw a beautiful volleyball between two teams that played at very good levels, tomorrow will be the most difficult match of the series in my opinion: they will do everything to propose the best performance, we want to end the series and go to the final. To do so we will have to express ourselves at the top, we have learned from the mistakes of the last two games, the team will approach the game differently. We know, however, that it will be a really complicated match “.
