This morning, Monti’s boys flew south to Castellana Grotte, where they will play the first game of the playoff semi-finals.

“We are up for it and we believe in our chances – said Verderio – Even if we know we’ll be up against the best team of the league, and they clearly proved it, we’ll try to make it hard for them and then we’ll see happens. We’ll need to start well from the nine-meter line, avoid silly mistakes and keep up in reception”.

Meanwhile, tickets will be on sale from Thursday for Game 2, which will take place on Sunday. Prices range from 5 to 16 Euros.
