The European dream continues for Monti’s men. Having defeated Macerata in an all-Italian clash in the previous round, they will face another extremely tough team, Kazan. We have reached the last stage before the final four, the three winners will join the organizer, Ankara. And the winner of Piacenza vs Kazan will meet the hosts in the semi-finals. The Russians are top of the league with 9 wins in as many games and are one of the favourites to win the Champions League.
“Kazan is extremely strong – confirmed Samuele Papi – we’ll try our best like in every other game. Given that we’ll play the return leg away, we’ll need to give it our best shot at home. We’re facing a very tough game but a fascinating one too”.
