Lorenzo Micelli emphasized that Olympiacos should have taken more risks against Novara, he spoke about the poor reception, the details and the superiority of your opponent, he asked for more concentration and a change of mentality for the second game, he thinks they played good volleyball in general and regularly.
Analytically: “We had to take a lot of risks in this game. In the fifth set, our offense didn’t work well because our receiving wasn’t good, which wasn’t the case the whole game. Some details made the difference, but, for sure, it’s not just us playing, the opponent is playing too.
It is very important that we played this game, this high-level match for our concentration and I think we enjoyed it, playing good volleyball. We will see what we can achieve in the second game, which is very difficult. Both mentally and tactically I was satisfied, with the exception of our start in the tiebreak. We will go to the next match to give the maximum”.
Mikaela Mleinkova added: “We started very well, we tried to press with our serve, we had a good block and defense, but the tiebreak is… luck. Of course, we didn’t start well in the tiebreak, we had a problem in reception and we couldn’t attack well, so we came back.”
