The ex’s: Dante Boninfante (Piacenza) in Treviso from 1994 to 1997 and from 1999 to 2001.
Alberto Cisolla (Treviso): “Match 2 was very strange, we struggles in everything apart from something good with have done with our serve, but we cannot limit ourselves to do well here and there, if we are not continuous, our opponenents will punich us. With Piacenza on thursday we will have to limit their service with our reception and be a bit more aggressive. We are hoping to repeat match 1 taking advantage of the fact we are playing at home and learning from sunday’s defeat.
These are the wuarterfinals, but thursday’s match is worth a final, we need to find our technical sources inside ourselves and the right approach to the match to beat this very strong Copra Nordmeccanica”.
Angelo Lorenzetti (Piacenza): “We need to think about one match at the time and play match 3 without considering the previous one. We know who Treviso are, and you can tell by looking at all the victories they have had exposed at PalaVerde.
It will be vital to face the match with the right attitude and a positive one, trying to express ourselves at our best of course. In match 2 we had a good performance at serving and digging, we must admit that Treviso has done well in some areas”.
