“Now we have to work towards an important goal that in my opinion is a nice novelty that gives a sense of closure to a season and, above all, gives a very important goal for next season. It is clear that the semifinal did not end many days ago and we must not pretend to be ‘supermen’. We are moving towards another goal, but also with that sense of bitterness that must be lived and gone through.” Angelo Lorenzetti, head coach of Sir Susa Vim Perugia
“We knew well, even before the fifth game between Perugia and Civitanova, that we would face a great team in the final for the third place. We will have Perugia in front of us and we are working, above all, to improve the situations that we did not do well against Trento and that cost us dearly. We are excited. The goal of playing in Europe next year has been achieved, but participating in the most important competition is what the club wants, our fans want it, but above all, we want it!” Gianluca Galassi, middle blocker of Gas Sales Bluenergy Piacenza
