Adriano Paolucci (Sir Safety Perugia): “After game 3, lost at the death, we know tomorrow’s game is crucial. We have our chance, and we proved it in this series, we can win it. We have to make it hard for their reception and work well in the block-dig department. We have been playing at a high level all year, we have already done a lot of good things but we want more. We’ll play in a packed arena with our fans, with have that push and a lot of energy, hopefully that will help us to bring the series to the decider because we’re aiming to spend the Easter holiday in Piacenza.
Luca Vettori (Copra Elior Piacenza): “Game 2 and game 3 made a clear statement, this game 4 is going to be another battle. On Wednesday in Perugia, we’re hoping to be more clinical and more consistent. It’s been a long series, it’s important to rest and recover your energy quickly, we won’t deny it, our goal is to win and seal the series in game 4 so that we can have a few more days to prepare the final. If we were to lose, we know we’d still have game 5 at our disposal to be played with our fans, which is always an advantage”.
