“We never stopped believing... We worked hard and we managed to beat some very strong teams like Perugia and Trentino. The latter are in the Champions League final and I hope they win it. The fans suffered with us during the difficulties, the injuries, but in the end we made it. We just have to enjoy this splendid victory. The MVP is a nice recognition but it is only a prize. What mattered was to win and here we are.” Robertlandy Simon, middle blocker of Cucine Lube Civitanova
“The thrill of winning after all that happened this year is great! For months I have been saying that the suffering experienced in some moments would prove to be a winning weapon and so it was. We imposed ourselves against a really strong team and everyone gave their contribution. I could not ask for anything better.” Ricardo Lucarelli, outside hitter of Cucine Lube Civitanova
