Saint-Nazaire, though defeated, showed resilience, especially in the second and third sets, where they kept the scores close at 25-23, proving their strength and determination.
Angelo Lorenzetti"It was a match where in the break phase the serve did not go in, as had already happened in the first match of the Champions League. When you make so many mistakes or serve so easily, I make it easier for them to change the ball because they are high in the middle of the net. In the first and third we were there, in the second a little less and there we risked enough, but the boys who came off the bench were also good and in the end we brought home the result we wanted".
