Lucao got the Viva Volei Trophy. He had the same number of points as Lucarelli, 16.
“I think that our experience helped us prevail. And Thiago Alves had his sequence at the end of the fourth set, he put us back in the game. We are a team that was fighting the whole year. It’s really cool to come here and say, ‘We’re in the final!’. I’m very happy” Lucao said, already projecting the final. “We would like to decide the winner in front of our fans. Sada Cruzeiro is perhaps the team that played the best volleyball in that stretch. It will be a great game, for sure.“
“There is a bitter feeling because we were three points ahead at the end of the fourth set and could have taken the game to a tie break. At this point, it is difficult to make analysis of what happened. What I can say is that it was a hard fought match, and RJX had deserved to reach the final” Lucarelli said.
