GIAMPAOLO MEDEI (coach): “Playing these Semifinals is not easy, there is a lot of pressure both for the importance of what is at stake and for the level of play that must be expressed constantly, and the boys were very good tonight. We are growing, with our attitude on the court, with the ability to stay attached to the match even in difficult moments. Today it happened in the third set. We keep these qualities and, above all, we try to bring them with us to the next challenge. We are convinced that we can go to Perugia to play the match, putting everything we have on the court, convinced of our means. We will try to earn the Final”.

MATTIA BOTTOLO: “The crowd gave us a huge help, and with their encouragement we were able to put a lot of pressure on the opponent right from the first actions of the game, bringing the game immediately on our track. We knew it would be a battle and so it was, so it was essential to approach the game in the right way and we succeeded. This was a game very similar to Game 1, with very long actions that could have ended in favor of one team or the other. We were good. We will return to Perugia with the goal of repeating what we already did in Game 3”.
