“We played with an unusual line up – said coach Montagnani – but I am extremely satisfied with the game played. Luka Suljagic played very well, he is quickly improving. I am very happy with Stefano Giannotti, now we need more from him than just what he does in training. We need his contribution during the games and if he can play at the level seen against Unterhaching, he could become extremely useful”.
