Mattia Rosso (Biosì Indexa Sora): “I hope will be a balanced game, the teams are pretty similar in this part of the season. Game 1 was very balanced, we were so near to a win, also in the tie break, but they have plenty of big players, also from the bench, alot of experienced athletes, who helped Verona to win the game. We need to improve our fundamental of block, and improve in defence especially trying to contain the attacks from place 4. We are working on this”.
Stefano Mengozzi (Calzedonia Verona): “We have to play with the right approach, coming into the game with the right step, and fighting until the end on every single ball. They have nothing to lose in this series, they play without pressure, as they showed in Game 1. They will give everything since the start”.
