Massimo Colaci (Sir Safety Conad Perugia):As we did on sunday. we suffered alot in the third set. We have to work on this aspect. In the end we won 3-0, clinching the Italian Cup final Four spot, that’s was our goal, so for this we are happy”.

An Italian Cup quarterfinals was an unique event, I don’t know when we would have again a chance like this., I did not expected a game like this. We will think about this, hoping this will never happen anymore”.

Giampaolo Medei (Cucine Lube Civitanova):We reached an important goal of the season, puntting on court the right focus and the right determination, winning clearly this game. We saw that Ravenna could be dangerous in the serve, but we were great in reception, keeping the focus and be carefull and determined. I want to thank the medical staff, who gave me back Sokolov after only three days. On sunday we’ll play again versus Ravenna, they will be more tough, trying to do something better”.
Marco Vitelli (Bunge Ravenna):We gave our best versus the defending champs, playing at the same level of the champs. They had more quality than us, now we are out of the Italian Cup, after the great effort in Vibo now we lost versus a great team. Now let’s think to the Superleague, next sunday we’ll be again here in Civitanova”.

After three losses in three oficial games into 2017/2018 season, finally Diatec Trentino stepped up and won probably the most important game of this early season, by defeating Gi Group Monza at PalaTrento in Del Monte Italian Cup Quarterfinals, clinching the access to the Final Four next january 2018. We don’t have to forget that Angelo Lorenzetti’s team has been three times finalist in last three edition of Final Four. It was the win n.500, but it wasn’t an easy one. In first set Miguel Angel Falasca’s team was in the lead 21-18, then Trento came back and grabbed the win 25-23 in the set. Since that moment Diatec Trentino owned the game, by winning thew two remaining sets 25-20 and 25-18, clinching the access to Final Four. The best scorer for Trento wasopposite Luca Vettori with 16 points, and Uros Kovacevic behind with 14.

Uros Kovacevic (Diatec Trentino):We needed to win this game, no chances on this. We did it playing some good volleyball, we would love to play well in front of our fans, after the bad performance of last sunday versus Milano. We turned the page and we grabbed the win”.
Simone Buti (Gi Group Monza):It was a bad loss, it was a very important game, we were plasying for the Italian Cup Final Four. they were good with the serve, putting on court more quality in the crunch time. This is the start of the season, we should work in practice and grow up. We need to come back into the gym and don’t lose the enthusiasm”.
