Trentino had to surrender once more against Treviso, who won 3-2 in the quarter final of the A1 Cup. Treviso has never lost a cup game against Trento and is now through to the semi finals. This represents a great satisfaction for Dall’Olio’s team while the 500 Trentino fans that did the trip to Bassano went back home with the great disappointment that could be read on their face.
Andrea Bari (Itas Diatec Trentino): “It’s never nice to lose but today we gave our all. We have to take whatever positive there is and go on with our lives. It was a very entertaining game, thrilling with great digs and plays that lasted. In the fifth set, we just couldn’t pass on the wings”.
Francesco Dall’Olio (Sisley Treviso): “Everyone gave us as favourite so we can say that the predictions were respected. It’s a very important result given what we’ve been through recently. We proved that Treviso was there and that gives us pride. Now we’ll have to cure our injuries: Hubner’s cup probably ended here while Cisolla struggled with a soar shoulder in the last sets”.
