Australia vs Italy | VNL 2021 | Highlights | Luke Smith vs Alessandro Michieletto

Italy captain Riccardo Sbertoli sets in the game against Australia: "I'm super proud of this team."

Italy secured fourth victory at the 2021 FIVB Men's Volleyball League with a resounding three sets over Australia who are still winless after nine matches.

Here's the reaction after the game, from the virtual Mixed Zone:

Nehemiah Mote (Australia): "I think two days ago we were very close to gain the first win against Japan. It's been a tough VNL, guys are putting everything on the court, everything they have, but we haven't borne the fruits of our efforts. This game was really disappointing. We came in confident, but we lost. The positives we can take out of it is that we do have other opportunities, we can get back to enjoying volleyball, look for what we have to do. In the third set we started to be more energetic, but we need to start with the same energy. We cannot have patches of energy, we need to have some sort of level and try our best to keep up this level during the entire game."

Riccardo Sbertoli (Italy): "We are very happy about this victory and I'm super proud of this team, because our goal was to win two of these three matches - maybe three of three, but yesterday we lost against Japan, but 3-2 and it was a very good game. Today we wanted to win, because we struggled with many problems at the beginning of the tournament and now we are improving our level game by game. I think our attack was a fundamental element today. We spiked very well in the middle and on the wings too and it was key to our victory."
