Soli after 3-2 on Grottazzolina: "We could have managed some situations better..."

“Winning against a team in good form like Grottazzolina was certainly not obvious, so we have to take the positive side of tonight, which is the victory and the two points for our standings,” said Itas Trentino head coach Fabio Soli after the match. “That being said, we also need to analyze the negative aspects of our performance; it’s true that we came from a complicated week that may have significantly reduced our energy, but it’s equally true that we could have managed some situations better to close the match earlier. After a very effective first set, we shouldn’t have dropped in consistency. Yuasa Battery improved their serve, and we dropped in attack, not fully taking advantage of the many opportunities we created. The lesson to learn is to approach some moments more as a team. We need to understand that we have to work together on the court to guarantee that extra something that can help us avoid situations like what happened tonight.”
