Marco Vitelli (Exprivia Molfetta): “It was a very important win, we do need to take advantage of the home court. Now we have to trip to Monza giving everything on the court, risking everything in every fundamental, as we did on today. We were good in putting pressure on them sisnce the start of the game”.

Nikola Jovovic (Gi Group Monza): “We knew Molfetta was great on the home turf, they are very dangerous at PalaPoli in front of their fans. We had some troubles in reception, and more or less in all the fundamentals, in first two sets. We knew this would be a long long series, we will try to win using our strength on the home turf”.
