Brazil vs Italy | VNL 2021 | Highlights | Ricardo Lucarelli vs Alessandro Michieletto

Brazil found plenty of resistance, but defeated Italy in four sets to mathematically secure their ticket to the Final Four of the 2021 FIVB Men's Volleyball Nations League.

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

Riccardo Sbertoli (Italy): "It was a battle, but it was a pleasure to play against the Olympic champions. We know that this squad is preparing for the Olympic Games, so for us it was very difficult to play against such a team. It was a tight battle in the three sets and it's an important experience for us, for our future. Their service and experience made a difference."

Bruno Rezende: "We don't have any easy games at this tournament. Every team has its quality and good level of volleyball. Today the Italian team showed that they are improving, week by week, so they played very well in a system of block-defence. In the third set we committed some mistakes in our attack, maybe some choices I made, but in the end it's important that we won and made three points. And we keep pushing, we have a lot of work to do, but that's it - we are on the right track."
