"The qualitiesà of the opponent and the thrust of the Umbrian public will make the match rich in high-level content, both in technical and environmental terms,” he added, “offering us the opportunity to express ourselves in an extremely challenging environment. We will need our best and our qualities to compete on equal terms and aspire to get the most out of this compelling challenge".
