THEY SAID – “Final Eight is the first important test of the season -coach Bagnoli says- and we get there after a month of hard work, most of which concerning physical training, and after good tests as the ones with Santa Croce, Cagliari and Cuneo. We are ready, we are aware that everybody will be watching us, and that’s why we must be ready to control pressure and play as we can from the beginning”.
“Perugia is in a good moment, and they must be charged after having reached the Europe playoff target -Gustavo says- they will play very easily on wednesday and that is not a thing to underestimate: we are fit, Coppa Italia is just the first of this year’s targets, but we worked hard and well for it. We must pay attention on blocking and passing, they could be the keys for the match”.
