Game one went to Piacenza but in the playoffs there is no choice but to get over the defeat quick. On Monday, Perugia will have the possibility to take revenge away from home (in the PalaBanca at 8.30, live on Sky Sport 2).

Hopefully, Stockr will be back to full fitness. The outside hitter suffered severe flu and was forced to rest. “We have to even things up on Monday – said Sciurpa – With Stockr back we’ll be competitive again and aware of our potential. I am convinced the team will give its all and that it will not disappoint. They fought hard last Tuesday and they will do so again this Monday”.
