About this game

This was a crazy game, we were chased by our opponents to a 4-4 draw, which almost made us lose, but then we withstand the pressure and finally won the game. What is worthy of recognition is the resilience of the whole team. We made many mistakes in the game, which need to be analyzed and summarized. We didn't perform well at the opening and this couldn't happen again. But from another perspective, there is one thing that must be clear in this game today, winning the game is our goal, and we finally achieved it.

Is the Italian team constantly improving?

Yes, we are also trying some new ways of playing. But at the same time, we are too eager to chase points or score more goals because we know it is important. We did make mistakes and had to analyze them carefully, but we also scored 5 goals - even if we conceded 4 goals at the same time.

How do you think of the combination of Italian team Keane Jr. and Retgey?

They are very strong, really very strong. I think we have a great team, which is an incredible asset and will be of great help to our future games.
