Luca Monti (Revivre Milano): “We are in the worst period of our season, technically and mentally speaking. I wasn’t able to put the team in the position to react, wmissing our season targets. After we recovered all the injuries, this team did not reached the level we expected. In exemple versus Ravenna we gave up without fighting, and this was the worst thing we could do. Probably I wasn’t able to instill the right motivation to the team. I still think our choices, done together with the front office, were right. But continuing thinking, the tournament is over”.
Luciano De Cecco (Sir Safety Conad Perugia): “We will play in milano a very important game for our standings. We want to reach second place, we need to win this game, waiting for the result of Trento. The distance in the standings between us and Milano doesn’t count. In Unipolsai Superleague doesn’t exist easy games, we know we need to do our best to win this game”.
