Next 9th april Hristo Zlatanov and Samuele Papi will retire.
Will be a great moment in Piacenza and world volleyball history.
Thank you Hristo and Samuele.

Top Volley Latina once again will need a comeback, as they did in Eighth Finals versus Revivre Milano. Latina suffered a tie break loss at PalaBanca in Piacenza after being in front 2-0, trailed by the home team who earn the win. On the home turf at PalaBianchini, Daniele Bagnoli’s will need to be more consistant to grab the tie in the series. LPR Piacenza did a great job in coming back in Game 1 trailing from 0-2 deficit, showing a mental strength together with lack of focus, high and lows for Albert Giuliani’s team, as they did more or less all season long.

Gabriele Maruotti (Top Volley Latina): “Will be a difficult game and a difficult series, as we expected. Piacenza is a tough team, built to reach some important goals in the season. Will not be easy, they have great players, on suday they showed they can react in tough situations. We will play our game trying to do our best, as we did last sunday in Game1″.

Luca Tencati (LPR Piacenza): “Game 1 was a particular game, we were coming from 10 days without official games, so we were without game rhythm. We would need to go after the disappointment of the elimination by Cev Cup and Superleague Playoffs. After the bad start we found the right rhythm and played some good volleyball. In Latina we have to start with the right focus, trying to grab the 2-0 in the series”.
