Lorenzo Bernardi (coach Sir Safety Conad Perugia): “We passed this test. I had told the boys we were not cured yet after the Latina game and indeed we struggled in the second set.

We did a great job of bouncing back when we were forced to play a fifth set. Two points might seem too little but in reality it’s fair ».
Marcello Forni (Gi Group Monza): “It’s always disappointing to lose at the tie-break, especially when you come back from 2-0 down like we did tonight. It’s always been tough to win in this arena. We were very close tonight, which is the result of hard work and focus during the week. In the third and fourth set, they faded while we put our feet on the pedal, and we held off their attempts of coming back. But in the fifth they were back at their best, we went as close as one point but they never let us tie it. We have to realise this is a very important point. This will give us confidence for our coming home game against Piacenza and this shows that we have character ».

Peter Michalovic (Tonno Callipo Calabria Vibo Valentia): “This is a crucial win, it was important to get back on track after the loss against Sora. I have to be ready every time they need me to help the team. Now we have to focus immediately on Latina and train hard to be ready for a great game ».
Fabio Ricci (Bunge Ravenna): “We played some good volleyball but only in flashes and we made too many mistakes on the serve as well as in reception. Still, we managed to stay in the game but they did a better job of going over the hump at the end of sets. We’re a bit disappointed but we have to forget it and focus on the next one against Sora ».

Still, it was Milan’s Starovic who was named MVP with his 28 points (54% in attack).
Riccardo Sbertoli (Revivre Milano): “Our downfall came from our serve mistakes. I really cannot explain it because it’s the first time we miss 28 serves in a game. We couldn’t seem to get it in, when we were hitting it soft, it went wrong, when we were hitting it hard, it went wrong too. This was the difference on the night ».
Gabriele Maruotti (Top Volley Latina): “We had promised ourselves before the game to stay calm, and in spite of being a bit nervous at the end of the third set, we managed to stay composed and react to the difficult situations. We had a new line-up in attack and today Penchev did a great job of substituting Fei, I have to congratulate him. We did well on the serve, we hanged on in reception, we had a solid game and given our situation this was an important win ».

Aimone Alletti (LPR Piacenza): “We are a bit disappointed. Modena served brilliantly but in various occasions we did a good job of coming back in the sets and overall we had a good game. We could really have got something out of this game, but now let’s focus on the next one, we’re on the right track ».
Matteo Piano (Azimut Modena): “We never gave up. Piacenza did a great job of getting back in it in the third set but we did as well to hang on and contain their spikers on the counters. We knew it was going to be a very difficult road game. Piacenza plays very well at home and we could not underestimate this factor ».

Gianlorenzo Blengini (Coach Cucine Lube Civitanova): “What mattered was the result and we got the win, even if we struggled in the second set and had some difficult spells in the third, we got a little nervous with a couple of mistakes. But overall this remains a solid performance that got us a crucial win ».
Flavio Gulinelli (Coach Exprivia Molfetta): “It’s always difficult to play against Civitanova, it’s tough to keep up. We did not manage to do it in the first set, we did better in the second and at times in the third in which the difference between the two teams was clear only in the end. We had our chances but I think we should have dared more to make the most of them. I liked certain plays we had, but we still have a lot of work to do ».
