Thus coach Marco Ramondino at the end of the race: ʺCongratulations to Brindisi for the victory, deserved for the continuity achieved in the forty minutes. We have had the usual ups and downs in terms of readiness and quality of play which we cannot accept lightly. They played a game of great toughness and physicality in our half of the pitch and in rebounding: this made the difference. I believe that the final result is the sum of many factors, including the impact of their players coming off the bench and the growth they had during the match. We need a greater sense of urgency from everyone who enters the pitch: it's something we prepare in training to be ready for the match.".
