There were still a few naïve plays but unlike in previous performances, the team never backed down, remained focused and fought from start to finish. Alex Ferreira was named MVP but unbelievable percentage in the middle too for Yosifov (83%) and Cester (86%)
“We did a good job of finding the consistency we had been lacking – said coach Gulinelli – We even managed to recover from a moment in which our serve was not going in”.
