Mario Barbiero (Biosì Indexa Sora): “I’m not satisfied because as usual we played a good volleyball, being in the lead but without closing the game. We played bad in third set where we could do something important. We came back to play the right way at PalaGlobo, we moved our standings, but now we have to be back to win and do more on the court”.
Fabio Soli (Bunge Ravenna): “It was a big fight, I expected this type of effort by Sora, because we are not so brilliant on the court in this moment, we should come back as we were a couple of months ago. On toeday we were nervous sometimes, because of something happened on the court, and this did not help. sora played a good game, they don’t dserve the pace in the standings”.
