In a press conference, Macerata talked about its 8th participation in the Champions League. Giuliani’s men will make their debut next Tuesday at home against the Russian side of Kazan. The Italians were drawn in the Main Phase as well with the holders Novosibirsk and the Austrians of AICH/DOB.

“Without a shadow of a doubt this is a very tough group – said sport director Stefano Recine – You just have to see that besides ourselves and the Austrians, there are the last two winners of the competition. Each game will have crucial points at stake for the playoff qualification. That’s why we’ll have to make the most of our home games, starting next Tuesday against Kazan”.
