“We knew it wasn’t us who lost to Cisterna. During the week we talked about it and wanted to give a strong response. This victory gives us confidence that we can play as evens against all the big teams.” Nimir Abdel-Aziz, opposite of Leo Shoes PerkinElmer Modena
“Games like this can happen. We must immediately look forward to find the right physical and mental energies in view of next Tuesday's Champions League match. Since the start of the season we have had to face difficulties, such as injuries, but this is also part of volleyball. The worst thing we could do right now is feel sorry for ourselves... We must stay focused on the good things we have done and improve...” Robertlandy Simon, middle blocker of Cucine Lube Civitanova
