Good start in playoffs for Sir Safety Conad Perugia, in front of the (usual) sell out crowd of PalaEvangelisti, a great 3-0 win versus Lpr Piacenza in Unipolsai Superelague Quartefinals Game 1.

Despite this, Perugia was great in all the fundamentals, with 63% in attack and 7 total aces, with MVP Ivan Zaytsev in a terrific night, together with a great Alexander Atanasijevic (16 points, best scorer of the game) and Aaron RussellFor Piacenza anyway a good offensive game for the duo Hernandez-Marshall, but all the team was in trouble in reception. Now Piacenza and Perugia will play Game 2 next wednesday at PalaBanca in piacenza, where Lpr will try to tie the game in front of the home fans.
Marko Podrascanin (Sir Safety Conad Perugia): “It was a good start in the playoffs for us, we were preparred and we did not repeated the mistakes we did in the Italian Cup Quarterfinals.

Aimone Alletti (LPR Piacenza): “We had a slow start, also with Hirrezuelo on the court. Then without him we paid the price, because he’s a top level setter. We were together, as a team, but we suffered alot the serve of PErugia. We have to settle quickly, and be ready for Game 2 at home”.
