Alessandro Chiappini"Before the match, I asked the girls to use the flow that was created during the match in Rzeszów (...).Emotions blocked us a bit. We knew we were playing against a very strong team. These emotions were a bit out of our control and that's why we didn't push them in the right way. While playing with them, we saw how physical they are - a strong middle blockers, an opposite who hits the ball with great force every time. Likewise, every serve was hard. It was definitely a difficult match. "
