Allianz Milano knockout in Ankara, Roberto Piazza already thinking about comeback
Allianz Milan knockout in Ankara, Roberto Piazza already thinks about the return
A bad start to the Cev Champions League playoffs for Allianz Milano, defeated in Ankara by Halkbank Ankara in the first leg match. The Milanese team surrendered to the Turks in four sets (27-25; 16-25; 21-25; 31-33) and will have to play for everything in the return match on Feb. 25 at 8:45 p.m. in Busto Arsizio,
A thrilling first set, won in a comeback by Milan when few would have bet on it. An unplayed second, with the overflowing Turks closing on the wave of enthusiasm also the third. The fourth and decisive partial led for a long time, but remained in Ankara for two better handled balls by the hosts.
“In the end we really missed a few things,” Coach Roberto Piazza admits to the official channels of Allianz Milano.
You win or lose the set by a ball, sometimes by a play not handled well, sometimes by a decent serve or a reception on an almost impossible ball. It is always the individual situations that però fill the choralityà of the team that must play like an’orchestra”.
“Too bad, we knew it was going to be a very difficult competition. We got there on a health level not in the best way, but there can be no justification for that. Now we know that we have the return match at home in 13 days. I’ve already told the boys. We realized that the difference between us and them is two balls to a game. So we will prepare to face the return match and bring home just those two more balls than our opponents” concludes the coach of the Lombard club.
