"Tonight he definitely won Brescia – said Andrea Pistola, coach of Bosca S. Bernardo Cuneo – they had the right mental approach, we tackled the game too lightly, without the right determination against a team that played 'to death' . We tried to stay in the race with obvious difficulty in attack and reception; pity because the second and third sets have escaped us due to our demerits, decisive ingenuity. It is good to have only two days before returning to the field with Chieri, the desire for redemption is great. Sorry because after the sensational victories we lowered our guard with a team that made competition the main resource and it wasn't the right evening to do it ".
