Belgorod (Russia), March 22nd, 2016

"We are the surprise package of this CEV Champions League: only few perhaps on the eve of the tournament thought we could qualify for the Final Four, but this is the beautiful part of the sport and I’m happy especially for the team that has earned this achievement” - said at the end of the match the coach of Trentino Diatec Radostin Stoytchev. -”In the first leg we played at 120% of our ability but the 3-0 of last Thursday, however, didn’t put us away from possible returns of Belgorod in tonight's match. We had to suffer, fight and bite the bullet and we did it. The right approach to the match was crucial but we were also lucky in the final of the third set, with that ace of Antonov, in which objectively he had a lot of courage and has been awarded. Compared to the last qualification to the Final Four in 2012, we have changed many players and even more so it is thanks to the Company if we have been able to innovate and find new athletes who work well and know how to fight. Congratulations to everyone."
