QUOTES:
Fosco Cicola (Tonno Callipo Vibo Valentia): “Not only did we train hard but also with great determination and with the right motivation to overcome this difficult moment we’re going through. Now we have to get our strengths together and show what we’re capable of, because we have the quality to have some great performances. In training everything is working fine, so hopefully it will go well in the game too”.
Cristian Savani (RPA-LuigiBacchi.it Perugia): “We’ll have to watch out for Simeonov, who will be their main threat with Diaz, who is the strongest spiker of the group. However, after our win over Padova, we’re going to Vibo with a different approach and high spirit. Then hopefully, the fact we’ll be live on Sky will bring us luck like the two other times. We have to keep our Sky unbeaten record!”.
