Andrea Anastasi: (Gas Sales Bluenergy Volley Piacenza coach): “The Italian Cup is the first important obstacle of this January which will see us busy on various fronts, our attention from an emotional point of view is there. We face Milan, a team that has grown a lot since the beginning of the season and the results they are obtaining are there to prove it, I’m sure we will have to suffer the pain of hell. We are doing well, against Padova we struggled but I think the boys have made a big leap in quality from a character point of view, taking home a match despite not playing very well.”
