Top Volley Latina forced to Eighth Finals of Playoff Challenge after the loss in last regular season’s game versus Vibo Valentia. Latina missed the direct access to quarterfinals, and now they will play versus former players like Dante Boninfante, Danilo Cortina and Todor Skrimov, now with Revivre Milano. Luca Monti’s team will play trying to erase the troubles of this regular season,closed at the bottom of the standings. In last game of regular season Revivre won in Latina, so Milano will try to continue this positive trend versus Danuele Bagnoli’s team.

Daniele Bagnoli (allenatore Top Volley Latina): “We want to rehab our season, and now we have the chance to do it. In last part of the season we weren’t in perfect shape, physically and mentally. We have to re start, starting from the good things we’ve done in season”
Riccardo Sbertoli (Revivre Milano): “We finished Regular Season with a win, so we practiced better with confidence, in last two weeks. We should give something more to be good in Playoff Challenge, we will face Latina, we defeated them in last Regular Season’s game. We have to keep high the focus, and to improve our fundamentals of serve, blocks and defence. We will try to advance as deep as possible in the tournament”.
