Radostin Stoytchev (all. Itas Diatec Trentino): “Piacenza proved a lot n match 2, playing with great intensity another important match of the season. Now everything is even again, but we were absolutely ready for the series to go to match 3 because Piacenza, despite our victory in match 1, is a team with many champions in their team.
Tommorrow it will all be decided in one match, we must limit our mistakes as much as we can especially at the end of the sets”.
Angelo Lorenzetti (all. Copra Nordmeccanica Piacenza): “We wanted to go back to Trento. It will be the final act of the whole championship, at the end of the playoffs, for us at least, lived in each of its moments because we never stopped and we always went through to the next round on match 3.
Tomorrow we must play with all we have and shoot our last cartridges. Determination will be fundamental because Trento, in this series, has demonstrated something more. We will find a very hot audience in a venue where Trento, this season, has only lost once”.
