“We believe in the final victory. It is the goal. I think that in the second match our serving could shift the balance our way again.” Marlon Yant, outside hitter of Cucine Lube Civitanova
"We made the start that we wanted. We didn't have the regular season we wanted, but the championship race is very important, so let's hope this was the beginning of a successful journey. The playoffs are very important for everyone, but we are sure of our abilities and confident that when Nimir plays well, everything becomes even easier." Earvin Ngapeth, outside hitter of Leo Shoes PerkinElmer Modena
“In game one, we entered the field a bit tight and we didn't play loose enough. For game two, we must be able to free our heads even if it is difficult." Thomas Jaeschke, outside hitter of Allianz Milano
“We know how good Piacenza are and how difficult it will be to win on Sunday at the PalaBanca. Our opponents will give everything to win the chance to play a deciding third game in Trento, and this is the beauty of the playoffs.” Angelo Lorenzetti, head coach of Itas Trentino
