Loris Manià (LPR Piacenza): “will be important to win Game 1 on the home turf looking forward to next games, trying to close the series as soon as possible. In Playoff Challenge there are some big trips to do. In the friendly match versus Monza we tried some combinations on court, we will try these combination on the court next sunday”.

Fabio Fanuli (Top Volley Latina): “In regular season we played some good games versus Piacenza, but we did not take advantage of the positive situations we had. They are a strong team, they showed it in Superleague and Italian Cup. This is an important playoff, the team will have the chance to play in Europe”.
