The statements released this week by the red and white young setter Mattia Boninfante to the media partner Radio Arancia Network:

Mattia Boninfante (setter Cucine Lube Civitanova):

“We are very happy and satisfied with the growth and current results. Also a little surprised at the speed of the upgrade of a renewed group. If we look back, at the end of the first round we were already third and it was not obvious that we would repeat ourselves without granting points at the Eurosuole Forum to our opponents in the course of a balanced tournament. Even on a personal level, I immediately felt comfortable in the environment and with my teammates. This positively influenced the impact and my performance. Now I want to confirm myself in the hot phase. In the Play Offs we break the ice with the Quarterfinals in the best of five matches against Milan, a very strong team as it has already demonstrated in the Italian Cup, taking us to the tie break. We are talking about a club that knows how to give its best in direct elimination matches and which recently eliminated both Perugia and Piacenza, so it will be a complicated series. We will have to know how to suffer and be concrete, taking advantage of all the opportunities we manage to create.”
