Mattia Bottolo (Cucine Lube Civitanova spiker):

“We’re facing a series that we could call a ‘classic’ against Sir Susa Scai Perugia for the Scudetto Final. It will be a spectacular sporting battle. The anticipation is palpable because, both in our team and theirs, we can’t wait to get on the court. Sir has the advantage of playing Game 1 at home and will try to immediately direct the match to a best-of-five series. We’ll try to play our best volleyball and put pressure on our opponents. It will be important to seize the opportunities that arise in each match.”
