RECORDS
In Regular Season and Play Off Challenge: Michele Baranowicz – 1 game to 200 (Calzedonia Verona).
Stefano Mengozzi (Calzedonia Verona): “Will be a tough game, they are playing some good volleyball, sometimes better than ours. Anyway our target is the semifinal, we want to reach the Final Four and we want to arrive there in the best way possible”.
Andrea Mattei (Biosì Indexa Sora): “We worked hard in practice all week long, we are good, in good shape, we want to reach all we missed in this series, the win. They are a better team than us, that’s for sure, but this doesn’y justify two tie break losses. They were better in the crunch time of the matches, with Kovacevic who made the difference, bot in Game 1 and 2. They have good percentages in attack, so we will try to keep them far from the net. I think this upcoming Game 3 will be better for us”.
