Tomorrow in Game 4 we don’t have anternatives, we have to win to force the series to Game 5, this will be a no tomorrow game for us. Will not be easy, but we practiced very well in this week. We will need to be aggressive, without losing focus, we will also need to take advantage of pour great arena and our fans”.

Angelo Lorenzetti (Diatec Trentino): “After the disappointment for the loss in Cev Cup, we need to react and step up, we need to turn the page, let’s see if we will be able to do it. We will need to turn our sadness in power and happyness. Also in previous game in Perugia we fought until the end. I hope this will be a balanced game as the previous three.
