Matey Kaziyski (Itas Diatec Trentino): “We got off to an excellent start in the first set, we maintained a high level of play. Roma stepped up from the second, so much so that after the third set I was afraid this could go all the way to the tie-break. We have been brilliant in the fourth set, hitting the serve hard and putting Roma under pressure. In the end, we took three important points”.
Andrea Giani (coach M.Roma Volley): “Shame we had this beginning of game, we were too shy and were dominated. But then we fought back, keeping it tight against the Trentino champs, we managed to play our best volleyball”.
