DICHIARAZIONI COACH DANIELE SANTARELLI
“There is emotion and desire to get involved, in the season that will start on Sunday there are new challenges and new goals to achieve, but after a long pre-season the time has finally come to take the field and show who we are. Without me, the staff has done a great job, there have been some physiological aches and pains, but the roster is competitive and we have worked with precision and attention to bring the players to their best starting from the first day. There is a positive energy and I can’t wait to start. Cuneo has changed a lot for this season, they come from a remarkable streak of saves and will have the desire to start the season with a big shot. Starting at the Palaverde is a privilege, we embraced our fans on Thursday at the presentation, it was a nice appetizer of a long season, I hope to find the support of our supporters starting from Sunday afternoon”.
