After six games played, Gioia stands last from bottom in the league table, though in company of four other teams. A situation which is rather similar to last season’s.
“The comparison between the current team and the one from last season doesn’t make sense – said sport director Gianni Montanari – The team is different and in a way, the whole championship too. We have put together a very young team, with promising youngsters, and therefore, the aim is to experiment and build something solid for the future. Besides, the three foreigners had never played in Italy before. All this explains the problems and the fact that we are behind in terms of level of play”.
