A1 M - Roma Vis Nova scares Brescia

The Roma Vis Nova almost played a trick on Brescia. The Roma Vis Nova really scared a powerhouse like the Bovo team, which in the end came out and put all its experience in the water, winning 9-6. But it was a good Vis Nova that until 2 minutes from the end was down by two goals and in the running to earn some points. Calcaterra's boys believed in it, playing a great game both in swimming and defensively, limiting the best attackers from Dolce to Alesiani, passing through Gitto (in the end Brescia finished with a 3 out of 11). Perhaps the Romans could have done something more in attack and especially in man-up situations; the penalty saved by Penava at the end of the third quarter could have changed the momentum. There is a bitter taste because this team has shown that it can play and compete with a great team of the league, closing the gap from last year. Then in the final minutes, Gitto and company's greater effectiveness prevailed. However, a match that projects the lions positively towards the next challenge in Bologna. Captain Mattia Antonucci analyzes the game: "We believed in it, we knew we could do well, we put rhythm and nastiness, we could have done better, we didn’t perform at our best, it will serve us as experience, but still gives us confidence for the upcoming matches. We suffered from their pressure on counterattacks, had difficulties in moving the ball quickly. In defense we were very good, man-up situations need improvement, we take, we analyze, and we bring it home. We go to Bologna united because we want to win and maintain continuity, we are aware of our abilities."
