Cucine Lube Civitanova looking for three trophies in season, the famous “triplete”. The winners of Del Monte Italian Cup last january in Bologna, will be present at Unipolsai Superleague Finals starting tomorrow on the home turf at Eurosuole Forum versus Diatec Trentino, and will be present next weekend at PalaLottomatica in Roma for The Dhl Champions League Final Four, where they will face Sir Sicoma Colussi Perugia, in a exciting italian derby. Lube is the real favourite of this final series, but will need to be careful to the power of Diatec Trentino, not always at their best on the road, but still undefeated on the home turf at PalaTrento. Trento is hungry for wins, after the perfect Game 5 played versus Sir Safety Perugia in the last act of semifinal. Angelo Lorenzetti’s team will try to change theit trend in the season, a trend which saw them always in second place in the big events, second at the Del Monte Italian Cup, second in Cev Cup.

Dragan Stankovic (Cucine Lube Civitanova): “Every player wants to play a series like this upcoming. This is the Superleague final, so first of all we can say it is great to step on the court once again for the italian title. We are ready and confident for this challenge versus Trento, a team who showed some good volleyball. We will have to think about our play, and I’m sure that with the help of our fans we’ll be able to take home Game 1″.

Jan Stokr (Diatec Trentino): “It’s great to come back to this level and play a Superleague Final. I left italian Superleague four seasons ago playing a big final, so will be fantastic to feel once again those feelings. Civitanova is for sure the favourite of the series, but we will be light and calm, without pressure on our shoulders, we will try to put them in trouble especially at PalaTrento, where our fans are great. But now let’s think to Game 1 on the road, will be a very tough game”.
