Andrea Bari (Sir Safety Conad Perugia): “Apart second and fourth set, we have caim in the first. If we won those set the game could be different. We tried to come back, but we weren’t able to do it. Now, in this moment, Lube is playing better than us. We can say it, without problems. We have to work to reach this level, I think this is the top level of the tournament”.

 
Osmany Juantorena (Cucine Lube Civitanova): “Most of the match has been decided by the first set. then we were great. They played not so good, they missed something in the crucial moments. We took advantage of this and we won. But we have to keep calm, this was only a regular season game, and the season is still long”.
