We played very well this Final Four, this group is built for this type of match, we are there when challenges really count, we proved it in this Coppa Italia. We are still in the running for two titles, we will try, I renewed my contract for this, I was sure I was in the right club to win trophies. It is the first medal as a protagonist that I have won abroad after so many defeats between France, Poland and Russia, I dedicate it to myself, my wife and my family”.

But the exams aren’t over, now head to the Cev Cup and the championship, with all our strength we’ll try to win again”.
