COPRA MORPHO PIACENZA – ANDREOLI LATINA 3-2 (23-25, 25-18, 25-22, 25-27, 15-10) –
COPRA MORPHO PIACENZA: Popp 19, Semenzato 1, Marra (L), Gonzalez 12, Ruiz, Nilsson 19, Zlatanov 18, Holt 8, Tencati 9. DNP Perazzolo, Massari, Boschi. Coach. Lorenzetti.
ANDREOLI LATINA: Kovacevic 8, Popelka 3, Kohut 11, Sottile, Nonne, Pieri (L), Spairani 10, Vujevic 9, Starovic 32, Giombini. DNP Gitto, Cortina, Labardi. Coach. Medei.
Third consecutive victory for Piacenza over Latina in front of 3000 spectators.
Angelo Lorenzetti (coach Copra Morpho Piacenza): “No regrets. We played against a great team and we should not forget about what we did in Treviso. I am happy with the performance of my players. Latina played a perfect first set, but we did not do too bad either. Two excellent sets, then we faded in the fourth and Latina punished us”.
Giampaolo Medei (coach Latina): “Piacenza is not the same team as two years ago, when it won the league, but it can certainly not be underestimated. It was a tough game but we never gave up. I think one point for us and two for Piacenza is just about right”.
RPA-LUIGIBACCHI.IT SAN GIUSTINO – YOGA FORLì 3-1 (28-26, 25-22, 22-25, 27-25) –

San Giustino and Forli supported the Italian Association for Road Victims as they met at the Palakemon gym. San Giustino made it two wins in a row, while Forli remains stuck without a point. MVP Goran Maric.
Goran Maric (RPA-LuigiBacchi.it San Giustino): “We thought about this game all week, this was a crucial game for us. During the preparation, we were also extremely tired physically. At 2-0 up, we underestimated the opponent and struggled. Fortunately, we didn’t have to share the points”.
Giacomo Bellei (Yoga Forlì): “We did absolutely everything we could to get some points today. We went very close, but not close enough. The whole team fought hard, and tried to do its best. We lost two sets by the minimum margin. We’re lacking confidence and after four consecutive defeats, the psychological aspect becomes an important factor”.
ACQUA PARADISO MONZA BRIANZA – BRE BANCA LANNUTTI CUNEO 1-3 (25-16, 24-26, 22-25, 23-25) –

Although the hosts, Monza, managed to play face to face during the whole game, it’s the Italian champion of Cuneo that came away with a 3-1 victory. MVP Wout Wijsmans.
Konsantin Shumov (Acqua Paradiso Monza Brianza): “We played very well in the first set, we were almost at the same level in the second but with a couple of inaccuracies. We immediately trailed by four points in the third set, we were constantly chasing, we tried to stop them but couldn’t. Despite the result, the performance was definitely better”.
Nikola Gbric (Bre Banca Lannutti Cuneo): “The secret to this victory was undoubtedly our patience, which is part of the experience of this team. On the other side of the net, they handled the first set very well, while we struggled both in reception and in attack. But we did not put our heads down, we manage to improve and get back on track and, despite finding it hard in all three sets, we clinched an important win. Monza is always a tough opponent for us, even last year they were the only one to beat us two times out of three, so winning in their gym, no matter the result, is for us an excellent achievement”.

Roberto Piazza ( Sisley Treviso ): “Our streak of tie-breaks continues, this time though, we have not played like in the previous games. We deserved to lose against a stubborn Vibo team”.

Silvano Prandi (coach Casa Modena): “We knew it was going to be a difficult game against a very strong team. But we played poorly today in almost every area of the game, especially in attack. We have to keep working, I’m trying to find a balance in the team”.
Radostin Stoytchev (coach Itas Diatec Trentino): “We did a good job of being aggressive right from the start, I think that was key. We had a good reaction in the second set when Modena was ahead. Modena is not at its best, I was probably expecting a little more from them, this is definitely not the true Modena”.

Omrcen received the MVP award as he led Macerata to a four-set victory. The guests scored no less than 9 aces and 17 blocks.
Marco Meoni (Marmi Lanza Verona): “In many moments of the game we played face to face with a team that will fight for all the trophies this year, so we can be proud of that. A bit less of the way we handled the fourth set, we let the game slip away, although the quality of Macerata’s serve was extremely hard to deal with”.
Cristian Savani (Lube Banca Marche Macerata): “We have a very tough month ahead of us, but these three points in Verona are extremely important. It was not easy to get the points in this gym. At some points, the game was tight but in the difficult moments we emerged thanks to a better level of play”.
