Mitar Djuric (Calzedonia Verona): “I’m happy as a child eating an ice cream. After 8 months, feeling the court and the game, is great to me. I’m very happy for the win in this game, we deserved the three points, ow let’s think to next upcoming game in Cev Cup”.
Pieter Verhees (Tonno Callipo Calabria Vibo Valentia): “We were wrong in the approach to the game, especially in first set. We made this gift to Verona, and we struggled alot to put some balls on the ground in the sideouts. And it’s very frustrating to do something good in these situations”.
