Alex Nikolov stated after the victory over champion Trentino:
I am happy with the win. So far, we've been performing quite well in our home matches. In my opinion, we could have even won 3-0, because Trento didn't play at their usual level. We weren't able to fully capitalize on that, but all in all, things turned out well. The main credit goes to our serve — in my opinion, it was precisely that which made the difference in our favor.
