Lube Banca Marche Macerata – Bre Banca Lannutti Cuneo
(2-1)
Past encounters: 59 (31-28 Cuneo)
Alessandro Paparoni (Lube Banca Marche Macerata): “This game 4 is the game of our lives, a unique opportunity to qualify for the final with our fans, which will be a big plus for us. We are extremely excited after Saturday’s victory, but the worst mistake we could make is to think we are already through. We still have to go and get that V-Day, because the next game will probably be even harder than all the others played in this series. We’ll have to face this game with the same spirit as in Game 2 and Game 3, with the same determination, fighting from start to end, on every play”.
Marco Pistolesi (General Manager Bre Banca Lannutti Cuneo): “In game 3, we have lost the game in two different moment, when we failed to hang on to our lead. Now Game 4 in Macerata remains our last chance to stay alive in the series and the playoffs. One thing for sure is that the team will arrive in Macerata ready to fight for the victory. It would be wrong to think that will not be the case”.
Casa Modena – Itas Diatec Trentino
(1-2)
Past encounters: 36 (22-14 Trento)
Bruninho (Casa Modena): “We have wasted a few opportunities in Game 3 in Trento, and the World Champion punishes you. Trentino remains the favourite of the championship, but despite the problems we have, we are playing well. I have quality teammates and we have belief in our ability. The serve will remain the keys to the series and Thursday’s game. On the one hand we’ll have to limit them, and take advantage of every opportunity that will come our way, and on the other hand, we’ll have to serve well ourselves. We’ll play at home, with our fans which are always fantastic. I have said many times and I will say it again, I love to play in the Mondena arena. We will give everything we have”.
Matey Kaziyski (Itas Diatec Trentino): “We saw what Modena was capable of in Game 2 in front of its fans but I am convinced that we won’t be surprised this time. We won’t back down on any play. Our target is to get our pass to Roma’s final and we want to do that immediately to seal it now and have time at our disposal to prepare ourselves. We’ll have to fight from beginning to end, even if we go through difficult moments, like we have done on Sunday”.
