Mitja Gasparini (Calzedonia Verona): “That win feels good, we took very important points. A crucial win but we have to improve in certain aspects of the game: we find ourselves too often having to play catch up during games. This is our main weakness”.
Salvatore Rossini (Andreoli Latina): “Paradoxically, we failed to do the easy things. We struggled to receive their float serve and we were blocked too many times. We wasted an opportunity to turn things around. We have to keep working hard, stay humble, we cannot go on like this”.
