"It was amazing to play here Champions League game, in our gym with our spectators after a long period. Monza is a really powerful and great team. They have really strong players. Our team performed really good, especially in the fourth set, we managed to come back from 16-9. For me, the motto of tonight's match was 'Never Give Up'."

"I think the key point is that we never stop fighting, even when we were down. You can see, in the end of this game, we're really down a few points, but we never stopped fighting, and we delivered a really great comeback as a team. We had good serves, Gabi scored really important points. And I think we did it all together and it was really fun to play."

"I am very proud of my team, because tonight we played a good Volleyball in a really tough match against VakifBank, one of the best teams in the world. We showed that we can play at this high level. Anyway, I'm a bit about the third set, in which we had some troubles. In fourth, we started really strong, but in the end we are going home without the win. We know it's our first match in CEV Champions League: we need to be happy about our performance".
