GIAMPAOLO MEDEI (coach): “Today we took the first steps, it was a useful day to evaluate from a technical point of view where we need to insist more. We couldn’t be brilliant in the busiest week. In terms of attitude and team spirit, I certainly can’t complain. Even in the most delicate moments the group never fell apart, we laid the first brick. We must continue to work hard to improve the game organization and form a solid team from a competitive point of view. The path is the right one!”.
PETAR DIRLIC: “We come from a tough week with big loads in the gym. We showed good things in attack and in the replays. There is room for growth from nine metres, but we are at the beginning. Our attention was not focused on the result, but on the performance. The balance sheet is very good!”.
