CL M: Modena were in trouble against Craiova but Ngapeth opened a lock of Romanian side (VIDEO)

Ngapeth vs. CRAIOVA

Round 3 match against Craiova was more complicated than Modena players and staff expected. It took them two sets to get into the game against Pool D underdogs who furiously began the clash in “PalaPanini”.

Modena coach Roberto Piazza was forced to send the captain, Serbian Nemanja Petrić, to the court in the third set instead of American Brian Cook in order to change the course of the game. And it worked. Modena gained stability both in reception and attack.
