Modena toward to Game 3

Cucine Lube Civitanova will play at Eurosuole Forum looking for a key win in Unipolsai Superleague Playoff Semifinal Game 3 versus Azimut Modena, a win who can give to Gianlorenzo Blengini’s team the lead in the series with the chance to close the series in Game 4. Lube won with authority last wednesday at PalaPanini in champions League PlayOff 6 Game 1, showing great strength and great shape, despite the loss in Game 2 of Superleague Semifinal Game 2 in Modena. Azimut will try to give their best in Civitanova, will be tough for Lorenzo Tubertini’s team to grab a win at Eurosuole Forum, where Lube is still undefeated.

Dragan Stankovic (Cucine Lube Civitanova): “To play the right way sunday’s game, we have to forget wednesday’s win in Modena. This will not be Champions League, will be Superleague, a decisive game which will break the balance in the series. We are playing well, we played some good volleyball last wednesday in Modena. Infront of our fans we want to give our best versus a team who will fight until the end”.

Francesco Petrella (Assistant Coach Azimut Modena): “We are coming from a loss, but now we will start from a tie, in this Playoff series. In last Superleague game we earned a win, we will have to re start from this point. Last wednesday we lost a gae but we lost four key points, the real turning points of those game, which put the balance of the game by Lube’s side. We have to work on details, those are the most important things, details make the difference. We’ll look forward to our targets for next game”.
