Lorenzo Tubertini (Azimut Modena): “I so some good steps after the game in Monza, but we need to improve, finding again the 100% of our play. To be on the bench is great and difficoult, I’m in Modena by years, this is an unique place to be for volleyball”.
Flavio Gulinelli (Exprivia): “We faced a great team. We knew it would be tough. The guys were great, probably we could be more effective in side outs”.
