Just one week of work to prepare a debut game against the European and World champions, Trento, was to say the least a tough mission for new coach Flavio Gulinelli.

We have to learn to express our potential no matter which opponent we have on the other side of the net. So long as we are mathematically in, anything can happen and we believe in our chances to stay up. The next games against Latina, Verona and Forli will give us a good indication”
