Nikola Grbic (Trento): “Match 2 will be harder than the one we won last sunday in Trento. I believe M. Roma Voley will be the star of a reaction of pride, both from the individuals and the team. This does not mean we will sit and watch, on the contrary; we are ready to fight and we do not surrender so easily”.
Leonell Marshall (Roma): “In volleyball, each time you have the chance to turn things around. That is why I am sure that the game is not over yet and we have infinite chances to win tomorrow evening. We must try and leave with sweaty shirts like our president says and give our supporters some satisfaction, which, despite everything, have always followed us through the season. Their strength is the service. We can only fight them peacefully, stayng on court calm and stop them from hitting us where they found us unprepared in the first match”.

Javier Gonzalez (Cuneo): “It is going to be a very hard match, even though winning Match 1 is a little advantage which can allow us to play with a little bit of a piece of mnd. We need to be careful not to undermine Piacenza, that are surely on the war path because they know they cannot get it wrong. If we play like we have proven to be able to do, we have some chances to win. The one coming up is a very important match which is not only about winning it but going through to the final.
Copra Nordmeccanica will put us under pressure; it is a team that never gives up and gives everything on each ball. We are going there to play and win and they will do the same”.
Angelo Lorenzetti (Piacenza): “Match 1 was a battle already, but that is how it is with Cuneo. It will be the same on wednesday, which will be a decisive match for us.
In the first challenge they have showed a great physical strength, together with excellent technical qualities that have put a lot of pressure on us and during the match we have been forced to find the solutions to stop them”.
