DICHIARAZIONI COACH DANIELE SANTARELLI
“It seems like a lifetime has passed since the first match, but it was only a month and a half ago. We played an incredible amount of games. With Boldini’s injury they have changed, they have had to make changes to the sextet. We will have the enormous pleasure of seeing Sena (Seki) and Katja Eckl again, we know them well, but right now we have to think only about us. We must not repeat the same mistakes we made in Busto Arsizio on our debut, but we are also different after 11 league games, not only them. It won’t be easy to play against them, it’s a young, unpredictable team, a tough opponent who comes in an intense week in which we will also face Florence on Saturday. It’s a continuous tour de force, because the first of the Champions League will arrive on Tuesday, then the away games in Perugia and Dresden and none of these games will be easy. But we have to push on every occasion, we will always have to get results, there is never a match in which we can sit or allow ourselves to lower our attention. All teams must be respected and studied in the best way, this year in particular, I for one will have to set a good example, I am the manager of the group “.
