Emanuel Kohut (Sisley Belluno): “We won a great game. I have to say Belluno was near perfect tonight in attack. We did fine too at the net. All in all, an excellent job from everyone which gave us an easy win. Our opponent will want to take revenge in Roma. They’ll play home in a gym that has strange lights. We’ll try our best. This is a special day for me because Nela was born yesterday at midnight and a quarter (his first child). An unbelievable emotion: obviously this victory goes out to her”.
Andrea Giani (coach M.Roma Volley): “These are strange playoffs. Playing right after the league quarter-finals was difficult. We might have paid the price for too many games in just a few days. I chose to line up players that had not played much during the season. That was a chance to show what they were capable of. There has not been a real preparation to this game and I think it was obvious”
