On Tuesday, Modena will head to Macerata where it will play quarter-final game 2 on Wednesday (9pm).

“In the playoffs you have to analyse the previous game – said experienced Cristian Caoli, who is taking part in the playoffs for the 15th time – You have to take carefully note of what went right and what didn’t and then look ahead. We’re playing on the best of five games, so it’s as if we had lost the first set: we can’t put our heads down”.
