Sora believed and tried its best but after an hour and twenty minutes, they had to surrender to Perugia in three sets. Sora made it hard for the visitors but Kovac’s men always found solutions when it mattered most. Sora showed some of its potential with some excellent spells but it also showed its youth in its inconsistency. Setter Luciano De Cecco (Sir Safety Conad Perugia) was crucial in victory and was named MVP.
Bruno Bagnoli (coach BioSì Indexa Sora): “We had a good game, we got better. Seganov does a great job of guiding the team, he helped us get good percentages in attack. Finishing at 56% against Perugia is excellent. Today’s we’ve seen who could be the main guys of this team with Rosso and Gotsev doing very well. Kalinin proved he could do it all and Miskevich improved his serve and understanding with the setter. We have to regain energy to face the mid-week game, knowing we can build on this good performance against a top team ».
Slobodan Kovac (coach Sir Safety Conad Perugia): “The atmosphere was really great. Hopefully we have been up to the atmosphere they created. We worked very hard to get the points but Sora tried to make it difficult for us, especially with their serve. We resisted till the end and I think we had a good game ».

Daniele Sottile (Top Volley Latina): “We had a good game, four top level sets. Shame some video check decisions went against us. We have to keep working on our game, get better game after game and always look ahead ».
Osmany Juantorena (Cucine Lube Civitanova): “This has been a very difficult game. Latina made it very hard for us. We did well to stay composed to come back and win it. Now that we play every three days, what matters the most is to stay fit and keep working in the gym ».
GI GROUP MONZA – REVIVRE MILANO 3-0 (25-21, 25-20, 25-16) – GI GROUP MONZA: Fromm 12, Dzavoronok, Galliani, Rizzo (L), Jovovic 1, Botto 10, Verhees 13, Beretta 6, Hirsch 17, Brunetti (L). DNP Daldello, Forni, Terpin. Coach. Falasca.

Genrosity and determination as well as some excellent serves were Monza’s main weapons to stop Milan in this third round of the SuperLega. The hosts made it two wins in a row in this derby as Hirsch was named MVP. He scored 17 points (3 blocks and 3 aces).
Pieter Verhees (middle blocker Gi Group Monza): « This is an extremely important victory, not only because taking the derby is always a great satisfaction but also because this was home. We’ve been working hard in the gym and it paid off, there is a good united group. The serve is what I liked the most tonight. They struggled to deal with our serve and I think that this factor together with the intensity we put in during the whole game was the key to our victory ».
Luca Monti (head coach Revivre Milano): « Shame because we got off to an excellent start. They played better than us on the serve. They bombarded us with their floater while Fromm was in charge to hit it hard, and we found ti hard to handle this. We have to start over with some hard work in the gym, all together. Our goal should be to build a solid group, without thinking of who’s missing. We have a good team, and with hard-work in training I’m sure we’ll do well ».

It was level again at 13 but then the Video Check changed a decision as no touch at the net was seen on a Lyneel spike out, while cook scored the winning block on Torres to make it 15-13 Modena.
Fabio Soli (coach Bunge Ravenna): “We were brilliant in the first two sets, we played at a high level, we played face to face with an extremely strong team like Modena. We have to keep this performance at heart, but we also have to remember the lesson we got in the rest of the game. We waited too much while we should have stepped up and kept doing extraordinary things ».
Roberto Piazza (coach Azimut Modena): “These are two great points won against an opponent that was more competitive than us for most of the encounter. We failed to take our chances in the first set, then from the third set on we got back on track thanks to the great players I have at my disposal ».

Waldo Kantor (coach Tonno Callipo Calabria Vibo Valentia): “We did not have much luck in certain situations we have been clinical enough at crucial moments of the game like in the fourth at 24-24. What we lack the most right now is consistency. We have to keep working hard to get better and avoid repeating our mistakes because on Wednesday we have another important game ».
Giulio Sabbi (Exprivia Molfetta): « After the disappointment of the first one home loss against Milan, we really wanted to win and take the points. We played with fighting spirit and my teammates covered a lot of ground for me. We trained with everybody fit, eventually, and that allowed us to play at our best today in a tough place like Vibo Valentia. We are delighted with this win ».

We deserved this victory for all the hard work we’re putting in during the daily training. We’re not at out best yet but when we will be we willl do great things ».
Simone Anzani (Calzedonia Verona): “This is life in volleyball. The run of serves from Hierrezuelo was key in the end. We did not play a high level game, we had a lot of ups and downs, we made too many mistakes in certain moments and Piacenza did well to make the most of our moments of weakness ».
