“This evening we put so much heart in the game. We had much more hunger for the victory than our opponents” – said Giovi after a magnificent victory over Verona.

 

 

 

Marco Meoni (Marmi Lanza Verona) said: “Tonight’s opponents played very good and scored points that for them were of gold. We were always left behind and we were chasing them all the time”. Three points won in Verona allowed the team of San Giustino to jump on the 11th place in the classification. Marmi Lanza stays on the 9th position. “We want to forget quickly about this defeat and think already about Saturday” – added Meoni. In fact, on Saturday, March 10th, the team coached by Bruno Bagnoli will have a chance to get some points in a home match with Vibo Valentia that stays right behind them in the standings. San Giustino will fight with Monza Brianza. Their strong service caused problems in reception of the players from Verona (only 22% of perfect reception) . If they continue to serve this way, we will see an interesting and tied game.
