“Mamba” Birarelli: “We’ll be ready”

“We had our chance to seal it but we did not do it – said the experienced middle blocker Emmanuele Birarelli – We’re really frustrated about it but we’re really eager to take revenge too. That’s the way it should be, this is the atmosphere needed in the group to prepare such a do-or-die game. It’s been a season of ups and downs from the start and we knew this quarter-final would be tight. That’s why it shouldn’t be, and it isn’t, a problem to play it all in this Game 5. We have to accept that it will all be down to this decider. I don’t mind it, we’ll just take on a top level team on a single game, which should be tight and in which we’ll need to fight for every point till the very last ball drops”.
