The fourth semi-finalist is Treviso. Monza lost 3-0 at home for the first time in the league this season. As for Treviso, everything went to perfection, while Monza could only block them once in three sets at the net. MVP Ricardo was indeed a master in orchestrating the play. Monza did try its best to stay close but when it had to make the final push to go over the hump, it was blocked by Treviso at the net.
Ricardo (Sisley Treviso): “We played with the right attitude today, the right mentality, all the more so considering the memories of the 3-0 loss in the last game here in Monza. We knew how strong they were, and we gave everything we had, with the will to win on whatever score, and we made it”.
Mauro Berruto (Acqua Paradiso Monza): “We went at 150 miles/hour for most of the season, we knew we were often playing close to our limits, showing great quality. Unfortunately, we did not manage to repeat that kind of performance in the last two games. We have to give credit to Treviso, it deserved to win this series and we wish them well for the rest of the playoffs. I have nothing else to say, apart from applauding every single one of my players, because each one of them had an extraordinary season”.
The next games will be on Sunday 18 in Trento and Cuneo . Trentino will be on court at 6 against Macerata, while Cuneo will entertain Treviso is one of the classics of the A1.
