Soli after Trento-Piacenza 3-2, game 1: "Both teams showed they were closely matched"

Coach Fabio Soli of Itas Trentino commented after the match: "In this first game of the series, all our pre-game expectations were met. Both teams showed they were closely matched, constantly battling point for point. This will likely be a feature of every match in this series. We came into this game after a challenging period, and that's why we worked hard throughout the week, focusing on improving our gameplay as much as possible, as demonstrated in the first part of the match, particularly in defense. The dip in performance later on was partly due to Piacenza's high offensive quality. Looking back at this match, the team should be proud of the result achieved, especially for the comeback during the tie-break, which had started poorly. With heart and dedication, we overturned the disadvantage and secured the 1-0 lead. However, we know we still have room for improvement in this series. We need to keep growing because the challenge in Piacenza next Sunday will be even tougher."
The second match of the series will take place in Emilia on Sunday, April 13, with the starting whistle at 6:00 PM. The game will be broadcast live on RAI Sport, Radio Dolomiti, DAZN, and VBTV.
