To underline the valuable commitment of Younger vipers which took place during all phases of the match, even scoring two of the four Asian goals at the hands of the very young Mattia Vellarclass 2006, at the first (and probably ‘expensive’) double in Serie A.

“We knew it was going to be difficult but I’m really happy with my boys – said the coach Luca Rigoni at the end of the match against the Scala family – everyone is indispensable in this team, the first as well as the third line. Surely we must learn to be more relaxed especially with a good team like CUS. It is the first time that, this season, we have played on such a large pitch without stilmat, so for what concerns me above all we have done a good job. Everyone, from the oldest to the youngest“.
