Matteo PIANO"It was a good game with both teams fighting hard, not always the best quality but it was up and down. Romania pushed us and we felt this pressure in the third set. Now we have a rest day, then we have Bulgaria who are a bit like us but for sure we need to improve."

Italy come together after winning the second set
Laurentiu Lica"We showed more courage today, it might have been better, but we are happy to have won our first set of the tournament. We knew that it would be very hard to beat France, Bulgaria and Italy… We are now expecting hard fights on the last two games, we will try our best tomorrow to beat Greece."
