“Tomorrow's match is very important for the standings. Monza have maintained a very high level. Cachopa (Fernando Kreling) is the best setter in the league. It is a team with many experienced players, who know how to adapt quickly to variable situations. We have to try to get a result." Radostin Stoytchev, head coach of Rana Verona
Milano vs. Trentino | Highlights | Superlega | 6a Giornata
“Our attention is entirely focused on this challenging match. We are in the middle of a period full of important events and we need to focus on just one at a time. We will find ourselves in the presence of a Milan team that compared to our previous match has grown further in its idea of the game and in its awareness of its capabilities. We will therefore need great concentration, a good approach to the match and continuity.” Fabio Soli, head coach of Itas Trentino Trento
“We know that we are playing against the top team in the standings, but not only that, it is also the team that is displaying the best volleyball in Italy these days. I believe that this match represents an opportunity for us to prove to ourselves and to others that we can compete against everyone in this league. We have already demonstrated it, but it is not enough to demonstrate it once or twice. We will have to pressure our opponents, starting with the serve and show our game even on a difficult court.” Marco Vitelli, middle blocker of Allianz Milan
