COACH SANTARELLI STATEMENTS
“I expect a different match than the first, as happened in the semifinals. Milan will play in the home match with the cheering of 12,000 people on its side and the desire for redemption to tie the series. I imagine it will be a much more difficult challenge for us, not that game-1 wasn’t, but maintaining the standards of play we showed won’t be easy away from home: in game1 we kept the number of mistakes low, we should try to repeat ourselves while in other situations we can improve and we worked on many details that can make the difference between teams that now know each other well. Milan put us in a lot of difficulty especially in the first sets thanks to their strong points and certainly our opponents will try to give their best to bring home game-2. The keys can change from time to time, the matches are different and the performance of the players changes; you have to adapt by finding the right way to get to grips with it, regardless of the type of volleyball you are playing. We have to confirm the approach of game-1, adopting some tricks from a tactical point of view to limit their attackers, but above all always having a good focus on our game”.
