STATEMENTS COACH DANIELE SANTARELLI, who on Saturday in Perugia reached the prestigious milestone of 400 benches in yellow-blue, from 2017 to today:
“At this time of the season, winning games with clear results is only a positive thing. In this December, after so many games at the Palaverde, we will play many matches away from home and without the warmth of our fans, bringing home round scores is good for the morale and self-esteem of the girls. With so many close matches we have done little training and we are adapting to all the conditions we need to play the double competition at our best. Dresden has good potential in attack, they will play at home and are proposed as yet another insidious team in the Champions League, a competition that is more difficult to face than in previous years because the average level, as we saw in our first game, has been raised. They will have the support of the German public who will fill their arena, they are a team that plays in an orderly manner with a good serve, it will certainly not be easy for us. However, we are quite well, we will try to get a clear result and then we will have very little time to prepare for the Club World Cup. We will return from Germany on Wednesday and we will have two training sessions before leaving for Brazil, with the staff we must be good at managing energy and we will try from tomorrow to find certainties with a good result, what is needed to start aware and charged for the world championship “.
