Brazil - Italy (Highlights, 1st match)

Brazil won in straight sets against Italy with Ricardo Lucarelli again leading the scoring for the Brazilian boys with 12 points to move further ahead in Group A, whilst Italy's faint hopes of taking second place in the league are dashed. On the Italian side the wing spiker Ivan Zaytsev scored 9 and was the top scorer for the European side. Brazil’s coach Bernardo Rezende said: "Our service worked really well today. A good service is the key to a good match. We have to keep up the pressure with the service and do not mind the errors, because when you force your services the risk is bigger. Another goal for us is to save the ball and keep it flying to try the counter-attack. The Italians have a tough block, so we needed to overcome it using our skills, not the physical strength".
