Andrea Anastasi"We have to face the match against Berlin in the right way, also from a mental point of view. It's a difficult game, but it's normal because we're in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, and every match must be played at the top. It is extremely important for us to qualify for the semi-final; we must not leave out any detail and push from the first point"
Coach of Sir Sicoma Monini PERUGIA
Ruben Schott"You can't simulate the quality of this opponent in practice. So you're meeting a level of volleyball you're not used to. Especially with their physicality, the Italians exert incredible pressure. We have a young team and can gain valuable experience in such challenges. We just want to play another good game. We can put Perugia under pressure with our serve and collect balls in block-defense. But we need to make more countable things out of it. That's the point where we can start and improve."

Of course, our chances have remained the same after the first leg. We're still the big underdogs and can enjoy this match from this position. They always say games are the best preparation. So there can't be a better preparation than the one against this opponent for our most important goal, the fight for the German championship."
