“I think we played really well against Sada Cruzeiro, who are one of the best teams in the world,” star setter Simone Giannelli, who scored eight points, commented. “I believe we managed to show our best level in the first two sets. It was very difficult, but we got a good win against a strong team and we’re happy about it. Minas have one of the best setters in the world in William (Arjona) and a very good team as well, so we’ll need to play at our best to advance.”
