It wasn’t obvious that Emu Rpa Perugia, at its first experience in Champions League, had the concentration and power to defeat Belgorod (3-1). “if one plays concentrated -states Paolo Tofoli- with intelligence, like Vujevic and not just focusing on power, then matches like this come out and one has the real chance to defeat even the russian team. The difference between the first half and this? This time I didn’t have any accident…”
