Edoardo Caneschi (Gas Sales Bluenergy Piacenza): “Going to the Champions League was our goal, we were good at achieving it and now let’s enjoy this moment. I’m honest, I can’t wait to play it, it was a season with too many ups and downs but it ended in the best way. After going out in the Semifinal Scudetto we wanted this third place”.
Yuki Ishikawa (Allianz Milano): “It’s a game in which we didn’t do well, unfortunately that’s how it went and now the season is over. However, we had a great season and I regret it because we certainly could have played better, but I’m still happy. Next season we have to do even better, a little more than what we did this year.”
