“Galatasaray Daikin ISTANBUL is a tough opponent to start withGaspari comments. “There is no need to discuss their quality. They have a world-class coach, Massimo Barbolini, and a series of major international stars, including their Italian setter Eleonora Lo Bianco. They also have strong attackers like for instance Stefana Veljkovic who used to play in Italy and hence we know quite well as well as their major stars, Japan’s Saori Kimura and Colombian Madelaynne Montano. Anyway, all of their players have got quality and experience. It will be tough but we are ready to go for this game and achieve a good result” said the Italian mentor.
