Unfortunately for us, only one goal came, but the boys played an excellent match. On Sunday we will go to the home of a very strong team: excellent individuals, a good game, a good and experienced coach. I am also convinced, however, that the players are ready and up to this challenge. We are in a good moment and we want to use it; they all trained well and they all want to play such an important game. If we repeat the same attitude as last Saturday, we will have a good chance. I think the public enjoyed last Saturday in Acquaviva and we invite everyone to follow us also in Russi! “.

However, we are still aware of having played an excellent match against Savignanese and of reacting to the lucky goal conceded. We know well that this Sunday we will face Russi, a great team to which we must give credit, as well as the Savignanese, for having kept this season finale alive and beautiful with us. What matters now is to stay focused and have the same determination for these other 90 minutes because nothing has been lost. For the second place, everything is still to be decided; we will do everything to try to reach the playoffs! ”.
