Massimo Colaci“In Ankara we are going to play a match of great value for the qualification. It will be difficult in a complicated sport hall and against an opponent we know because in the squad he has several players who also play in their national teams. Ziraat lost the first game and therefore will play knowing that they absolutely must win. For us it is an important challenge, if we were to return to Perugia with three points, the Pool would certainly go well .
Libero Sir Sicoma Monini PERUGIA
Andrea Anastasi“Let's play an already very important match. In the Champions League, first place in the Pool is essential to go directly to the playoffs so we will give our all to win in Turkey too”.

Wilfredo Leon“After the unpleasant moment in the Italian Super Cup, returning to the Champions League tonight was nice. I feel good, and this is the most important thing. Tonight was a difficult game; after losing the first set we had an excellent reaction and demonstrated the great strength of the team in which everyone makes an important contribution"
