Mirco, what made you choose Cuneo?
« I want to test myself at a higher level and improve in all the fundamentals, if I can do this in an ambitious club like Cuneo even better; one of the companies that has always been among the best over the years.”
You entered the arena these days for an extra training session, what do you expect in the season?
« I expect a fierce audience ready to support the team as I saw them in the year of Santa Croce. They have a good reputation, an extra motivation to give their best during the year.”

Roberto, you have already experienced an A2 championship, what do you expect from next year?
« This championship reminds me a bit of what I did two years ago, again in A2, where practically every team was of a high level and every match was a bit of a story in itself. It seems like a cliché, but I think that every day this year we will have to fight on equal terms with everyone, at home and away.”
