Dario Simoni (coach Andreoli Latina): “I expected a different game. Modena played well and really surprised us. We did not hit our serves, even if it was better in the third set. They gave us a lot of trouble with their blocking. We did not manage to put in place our strategy”.
Earvin Ngapeth (Casa Modena): “We played as one, even if we put our foot off the pedal a bit in the third. We were the real deal today, and we started our new life with three points. It’s not been easy to get them, though. Latina is a strong team, and they played well tonight”.
