Giampaolo Medei (coach Cucine Lube Civitanova): “It means a lot for the team to participate in the Final Four Del Monte® Coppa Italia. We wanted to continue our growth and test ourselves in such a prestigious event. Being in the Final Four is equally important for the Club because Lube deserves certain stages. We are satisfied to be there but not satisfied. We want to play all our cards, we are coming from a good moment, we are determined and we have the energy to prepare for the two days as best we can. In the Semifinal I expect to find a ready rival, with many experienced athletes used to winning matches of this type. As a result, it will be a very tough challenge. Even though Perugia and Trento have spent a lot of energy recently, on the eve of the event they remain the favorites for the title. Having said that, Lube has the means to be competitive and fight with everyone all the way.”
Fabio Balaso (captain Cucine Lube Civitanova): “This cup has been missing for a while, in the last three seasons we have failed to reach the Final Four. We arrive at the appointment aware of our means thanks to what we are showing on the pitch. We are confident after a truly important victory over league leaders Perugia. We will face the Semi-final against Trento, one of the favorite teams to win the trophy, certain of being able to put the Dolomites in difficulty. We know the value of Itas, the Semi-final of the Club World Cup went badly, but it helped us grow. We will give 100% on the pitch to reverse the predictions and we will try to chase the rosette with all our strength. Away from our field we have had continuity problems, but we expect a further step. Difficult challenges must be faced with the right head because anything can happen.”
