San Marino. Juvenes-Dogana Futsal, the 7-1 against Domagnano in a friendly match is an injection of confidence
Victory also in the second pre-season test, after the 3-0 at Cosmos. Zonzini: “We have rhythm and intensity”
Ten goals scored, one immediately and two games played at high intensity. This is the balance sheet of the pre-season friendly matches for Juvenes-Dogana Futsal, who, after having finished Cosmos 3-0, beat Domagnano on Tuesday evening, 7-1. Satisfaction for the coach, Claudio Zonzini, who on the pitch, from his players, had the answers he was looking for: “We confirmed that we have rhythm, intensity and defensive phase, but also the ability to overturn the action. We are in a positive period, we hope to extend it to the championship. However, if this remains the attitude of the boys, we will be immediately satisfied with the satisfaction, maybe even the best equipped teams. The results give us confidence, the environment is peaceful. We are working hard and well and this is an excellent starting point ”.
The draw on the calendar gave Juvenes-Dogana an additional week of preparation, as the red and white will rest during the opening round of a 15-team championship for the first time. Preparation that, for the Serravalle team, started from afar: “We started already in August – explains Zonzini – and, even with work commitments and holidays, the boys have always guaranteed me a good presence at training. Now we are on the pitch to sharpen the weapons to use in the game and we are focusing on ball possession and conclusion: we are still missing something there. There is a great desire for others to start and compare themselves with, who will be discovered meeting by meeting, because teams reshuffled during the last market. As for our purchases, Enrico Muraro had already been with us a couple of seasons ago, so we knew him and he knew us, while Matteo Quaranta and Simone Chezzi are very helpful guys. Having a hard core that does not collapse, to which new ones can be added year by year, is always an excellent base from which to start over ”.
In view of the season, Zonzini sets the objectives and the requirements to achieve them: “With the championship with 15 teams, of which 12 will go to the playoffs, the minimum goal will be to enter these 12. Then, surely, we want to get as far as possible both there, both in the Titan Cup. The good ending of last season gives us hope, but it will be essential to start well, unlike in 2021-22, in order not to lose once again those points that, in the end, denied us access to the playoffs. We will have to be competitive immediately, but the sensations are positive ”.
