« The players arrived in good shape – said coach Bladovin after the first week of pre-season training – This is a good starting point for us ». 11 of the 13 players have began training, Francesco Zoppellari and the Croatian Philip Sestan are involved with their youth national teams. « Right now we’re working mainly on the physical fitness and we add some exercises with the ball to it. The new players have settled in fine and they proved they were ready to work hard. This is an important factor because we have a young group and many of them are at their first experience in a proffesional league ». Meanwhile, the first test will be on Friday 26 against the US team of Stanford University.
