Verona wins the advance with Ravenna
VERONA- In anticipation of the 10th day, third home victory for Verona Volley, which in four sets closes a fundamental challenge for the classification, becoming the protagonist of a great wall test. 15 winning blocks for the Gialloblù, who lead a first set without worries, while Ravenna gradually grows in the second and, with the third, tries to reopen the challenge, thanks to the contribution of Klapwijk (22 points). Not enough, Verona Volley finds a Luca Spirito in a great evening, who not only manages the balls in attack with great coldness, but becomes the absolute protagonist on the block, scoring six of them. The most hard-fought set is the third, with Ravenna starting ahead, and a series of overtaking and counter-overtaking on the final exchanges that animate the Agsm Forum in Verona. The hosts dominate the first and second set, and even the last set suffers little, with a highly accurate batting test (errors only).
THE PROTAGONISTS-
Asparuh Asparuhov (Verona Volley) – «We are very happy to have won and to have conquered the three points. We could have closed it earlier, at 3-0, we tried to reach a lot and maybe that’s why it went like this. But we are very happy, now we are moving a little higher in the standings. The public? It is very different to have, I want to thank all the fans who come to support us at every match, and also outside. I am very happy that so many people are following us, and we look forward to seeing you for the next match ».
Emanuele Zanini (Coach Consar RCM Ravenna) – «It is not possible to always start under one or two sets and this more than penalizing is becoming frustrating. And despite this we were able to stay in the game, to win the third set, to fight in the fourth. We weren’t able to put into practice what we prepared and trained during the week: it is precisely that in some phases of the match we lose ourselves even in the face of easy situations ».
