Vettori shined too at the end of the fourth set with 7 points, which were crucial to complete the hosts’ comeback. The serve made the difference, PIACENZA had 10 aces versus the 2 from MACERATA. The hosts were better in reception and attack as well (56 and 58% for PIACENZA, 48 and 53% for MACERATA).

Luca Vettori (Copra Elior PIACENZA): “Playing in this fourth set and contributing in this extremely difficult victory is a great feeling. It’s difficult to explain what I’m feeling right now. It’s 1-1 now, we’ll have to go to Macerata with the same conviction and determination”.

Luca Monti (coach Copra Elior PIACENZA): “We felt the pressure at the start and that slowed us down but then we managed to play face to face. Macerata is a strong team, stronger than us but tonight, despite the many substitutions, they made a lot of mistakes. After the defeats of the regular season we managed to win one on them, but we have to admit that we had improved since then. The video check? It helped us when we had doubts”.

Dragan Stankovic (Cucine Lube Banca Marche MACERATA): PIACENZA can really play good volley. We started off brightly without mistakes, but then we lost our way. Hopefully we’ll win at home on Saturday”.
