Volleyball SuperLega – Taranto heavy victory, Siena sinks – iVolley Magazine
Taranto conquers PalaEstra by winning the match valid for the 9th Superlega for 3-1. Stefani plays a great game as does Larizza in the centre. Gioiella Prisma conquers the first set, Siena comes out in the second set, but in the third it is the guests who take back the command of the operations. For the Apulians these are three important points for classification. Mvp of the match is Stefani, author of 26 points. The Gioiella Prisma dominates the wall with 14 bulwarks against the 6 of the Sienese.
The disappointment of the free Sienese Bonami: “We feel a huge disappointment, this was a battle for salvation. We were even aggressive to some extent, but not cynical enough. In the second set we also recovered. We were unable to land some balls. We need work during the week to improve. Taranto also played a game in the numerically superior block defense compared to us. We have to start working again to return to achieving good results”.
Vincenzo Di Pinto’s state of mind was completely opposite: “We thank our fans for following us in large numbers on this very important away match! A match that we have been preparing for some time and that we won by playing very well. The credit goes to the team and the club, which allowed us to plan the match in the best possible way. They are three very heavy points against a direct competitor for salvation: every victory in the SuperLega is something remarkable, even in the economy of the final standings the number of races won is an important parameter. What made the difference? Our defense block: we got off to a very good start with the ball change and serving, then in the third and fourth set the defense and block allowed us to bring the game home”.
