DICHIARAZIONI COACH DANIELE SANTARELLI
“We come from a long journey of home matches, with 4 games in 9 days at the Palaverde, I still want to thank the public for the affection they have shown towards us, the fans have always supported us in many close matches before the Club World Cup. We collected four victories, with two tie-breaks and two three-point successes, not having traveled in between gave us a huge advantage. Now, however, the long trips are back, we will have a period of long journeys to face all competitions, starting with tomorrow’s game. Perugia is the A1 team closest to my Foligno, I will have the opportunity to see friends and relatives, it will be beautiful because it is always a pleasure to come home. The roster of the “Black Angels” is much renewed compared to last year, they are doing a good championship, despite some ups and downs. They have good strikers and a lot of physicality, they are unpredictable and will do everything to put us in trouble and bring home points. For our part, another tour de force awaits us and we are aware of how probing and stimulating it will be, tomorrow night’s is one of the last test matches before flying to Brazil. I will continue to use all the pieces available, it will be necessary to put the utmost attention on the field to bring home a victory that would be very important ”.
