Roberlandy Simón (Copra Elior PIACENZA): “Now we know we can play at high level in the finals, we knew that in game 1 but unfortunately something went wrong. We are all united by a single goal. Now the all attention is on Game 3 in TRENTO, if we win we would have the chance to close at home. Since the first set we started to block better. We won the fourth set but it is not easy to recover because you’re under 8-1.”
Radostin Stoytchev (TRENTINO coach): “PIACENZA deserved to win this game. We were not able to handle the situation as we wanted. To win you need to be able to remain attached to the game and play with greater team spirit, which we didn’t. We had good start but more important is how you finish the game, in a final series of this level is not enough to prepare for the game tactically. We tried to react but the last set was objectively too late.”
