In the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia men's volleyball tournament in Italy, Ishikawa Yuki's Milan team faced Perugia on Saturday, January 27th (local time) and lost 2-3 (25-20, 23-25, 15-25, 25-23, 11-15).
Comments from Wassim Bentala (OP, Perugia)
T: Congratulations, that was a great game.
Ventala: Of course. Everything about this Coppa Italia semi-final was amazing. The atmosphere here is crazy and our supporters were on fire from start to finish. The match was not easy, we knew that from the beginning. Milan is a bunch of warriors, we knew they would fight from start to finish and they wanted to win the semi-final as badly as we did. But we did it. Thank God.
T: How will you tackle tomorrow's match?
Ventala: First of all, what I need to do now before tomorrow's game is to get a good night's sleep. I'll think about tomorrow's game tomorrow morning, but it will definitely be a difficult game. I think we need to be aggressive from the beginning.

As we were leaving, he said to me, "Say hello to Kent!" (laughs) (Bentala and Kento Miyaura were teammates in Poland last season.) pic.twitter.com/KgVSjEcWvK
