COACH SANTARELLI STATEMENTS
“The arrival of the Courmayeur Cup means that things are starting to get serious, it is the last test before the championship debut and it will be an important run-in for the teams in contention. With the return of Gabi this week we have completed the roster, as usual we have added in this period one piece at a time with the various returns after the hard summer of the national teams, so obviously we are struggling with some physiological ailments and with some players who are not at their best and are recovering their condition, we are only at the beginning of the process of amalgamation of the new team because we have girls who have been here since August and others who have arrived for a few days. I still don’t know which players we will decide to field in Courmayeur in the matches that await us, but what is sure is that it will be an important run-in test to see where we are in view of next Sunday’s championship opener”.
STATEMENTS MONICA DE GENNARO
“The start of the championship is approaching and the Courmayeur Cup will be a good test for us to play against the strongest teams in the championship and make an important test against quality opponents. It will certainly be a good show for the audience at the arena on television, ok the teams will not be at the top yet because we are in pre-season, but I am sure that all four teams will give their best to start the season well “.
