Christian Fromm (Gi Group Monza): “These are two crucial points. We started off with maximum focus, but then we could not stop their determined come-back. In the fourth set and in the tie-break, however, we played with heart. This team is first and foremost a great group who proved once again it could find a way in the difficult times. We’ll enjoy this win before starting to prepare for Modena from Tomorrow ».
Maurice Torres (Bunge Ravenna): “The too many mistakes and the fact we faded an the end prevented us from taking the three points. We lacked energy at the start, then we got back in it with character. In the end, though, we lacked consistency, especially on the serve, and Monza took advantage to win it. This defeat hurts, we have to put it behind us as quickly as possible given that we have another important game against Civitanova on Wednesday ».

Daniele Sottile (Top Volley Latina): “It was very tight from the start. In the first set, we went in front a couple of times but the talent of some players made the difference.
