Marcello Forni (Tonno Callipo Calabria Vibo Valentia): “The expectations were much higher on us followinng last week’s win over Trento. We played with determination right from the start and won it even if that proved really hard. We are extremely satisfied with this result, we’re not thinking about a cup qualification right now, because we still have to face Cuneo. We’re working very well and are very happy with the win”.
Andrea Radici (coach Altotevere Città di Castello): “We played a poor game tonight, we were not focused enough. We made far too many mistakes from the first set, without ever being accurate in any area of the game. I’m really struggling to find anything positive out of this game today. We might have played our worst game of this first half of season. Hopefully, we’ll have a totally different look right from the next encounter”.
