MVP Juantorena
Giampaolo Medei (Cucine Lube Civitanova): “I’m very happy for the game the guys played, we earned three important points, keeping high the focus and playing with great attitude. Playing in a different formation was difficult for the players, but they answered the call, for this, this win is very important”.
Thomas Beretta (Gi Group Monza): “We expected to have a better game, lack of aggressivity, we played more or less a good first set, then we started to make too many mistakes, and versus powerhouses as Lube, if you are not at 100%, it’s impossible to compete”.
