Daniele Bagnoli (Top Volley Latina): “We missed some few things to reach the tie break. In first two sets we suffered Perugia, in the third we fought back, getting back into the game. Now let’s focus on the playoff hunt, starting from the game versus Vibo”.
¡¡
Lorenzo Bernardi (Sir Safety Conad Perugia): ” I feared this game, but in the end we grabbed the win. I expected a tough game, they are healthy now, but we put on the ground some good serves, probabily we have to work down the net. Penchev played a great game”.
