“I expect all sets to be hard-fought. It will be a match played with a lot of grit by both teams. This time, however, we will be at Pala Mazzola. I hope it turns into ‘hell’ for Monza, as the home venue could be an important boost for us. It will be a tough challenge, but we want to face it with determination and grit to win at home.” Jan Zimmermann, setter of Gioiella Prisma Taranto
“It's a really intense week for us, not only with many matches, but also travel and away games. We arrive in Taranto with the Champions League challenge in Greece against Olympiacos Piraeus still in our legs and in our heads. We've had little time to prepare, but we'll give it our all.” Massimo Eccheli, head coach of Mint Vero Volley Monza
