Totire’s boys played an intense game in Genova, a tight affair in which it was impossible to predict the winner. But in the end, Mantova came out once again on the losing end without a point. At times, a little bit of luck would not go amiss.

“I did not go over the top when we grabbed six points in the first games and I will not go crazy either because of the last few defeats – explained coach Totire – I’m not saying they were predictable but there was a logical explanation to each of them and, fortunately, we have margin for improvement and personality to redeem ourselves”.
