DICHIARAZIONI COACH DANIELE SANTARELLI
“We archived Game 1 and we recovered our energy after the long battle, now the focus goes on Game 2, which will be even more difficult to face because the pressure and tensions increase. Milan will try to redeem itself to reverse the series and we will have to do more than last Saturday to win there from them: in game 1 we did not play our best game, but with character we took home a fundamental victory in front of a very hot Palaverde, winning tomorrow would mean taking a big step forward in the series. Let’s think about one game at a time, tomorrow will be decidedly tougher at home to a Milan team that in front of its fans will do everything to put us in difficulty by equalizing the series. They have enormous potential in all the fundamentals and throughout the season we have noticed it when we have played against them: the attack is super, the block and defense are top team, it is a team built to win, we have the utmost respect for them. To improve compared to game 1 we analyzed some critical points on the video and we trained to find some adjustments in view of the next challenges: with the support of the many fans who will come to see us and with the desire to take an important step in this final I am sure that we will do our best and that the girls will have understood Saturday’s lesson. We can’t have drops in performance or breaks because they punish us, we need the utmost attention in all the fundamentals. We will find another beautiful atmosphere at the Allianz, but we are sure that we will hear the voice of our fans loudly and we will see many yellow-blue spots in the stands, it is a beautiful final both for the many stars on the field and for the setting that is in the sports halls that host it, it will be fun “.
