PAST ENCOUNTERS: 10 (7-3 Verona)
Robert Kromm (Marmi Lanza Verona): “The defeat against Piacenza made us understand what we need to improve, which will be useful. We worked hard in training with the will to take three points against Latina. However, we have to play well and use our heads. It will undoubtedly be a tough game but it’s important to win it. Our fans are always there, even in the tough times, and we would like to give them a nice Friday night, we’ll be waiting for them to come in numbers”.
Danilo Cortina (Andreoli Latina): “We’ve played well against the top teams so far and we took points against the ones said to be weaker. Against Verona we have to play good volleyball. If we play like against Macerata, we’ll be able to take some points home”.
