Afterwards, it became easier in the second set because we took the lead and kept it. Cannes is a very good team, specially the young opposite Celitans. Now let’s go to the Final Four”. Laurent Tillie said “We have well started, we won the first set and we were very close in the middle of the second set. But thanks to their huge players Tetyukhin and Stanley, they increase their lead point by point”.
