In your opinion, what was missing last Sunday against the battleship Brescia? "A bit of cynicism and order in the decisive moments, we perhaps messed up a bit too much in the key moment of the match. But it remains a narrow defeat against a great team, which, let's remember, had started to play for promotion and therefore still has a very respectable squad today. But we, I repeat, lacked cynicism".

Now the championship puts you in front of Messina, another contender for the A1 series, what awaits you in Sicily? "It will be another match to prepare very well and without leaving anything to chance. We want to win, we don't start out defeated and we want to collect as many points as possible in view of the Promotion Pool".

Promotion Pool which will start immediately after the final of Italian A2 Cup, on February 9th at Bologna. So now a real tour de force is coming, and how are the players also from a physical point of view? "Surely now a bit of tiredness is starting to be felt, but we believe in our work and we want to continue to be up there. The girls are all doing well physically, they all push in training and this is a beautiful sign of will and tenacity, surely in these days we will also try to recover our strength".

Finally, a thought for the bench, from which we expect fresh energy and replacements in a period where we will need everyone. Among the latest additions to be noted also last Sunday some minutes for Sassolini and Bagnoli. What do you think? "The girls on the bench are working very hard and are growing in level, even though they are young and we are counting on them in this part of the season where there will still be many games. But it is very nice to see how everyone, absolutely everyone, in training is working hard to improve".
