“We were only relatively interested in the result”, said coach Stoytchev. “We had had a heavy session in the weight room the day before, which explains why we haven’t been particularly brilliant in the first part of the game, when we struggled to impose our rhythm on the serve. When we improved this aspect, everything became much easier. We have one more week to prepare the playoff and make sure we’re ready”. Before that though, there will be one last friendly game against Modena on Saturday 23.
