His statements
You will see my signature on the contract very soon. Former viola Badelj is the lighthouse of this team. The team perceives the security he transmits
The climate in the locker room
We have created a climate of belonging, a sense of identity with our colors and our shirt which is palpable both when we play at home and away. The fans see themselves reflected in this attitude of sacrifice and passion, and they give us their support every time we play. This is fundamental for us.
The comeback against Sassuolo
The first half was a bit subdued, perhaps influenced by the heat and the quality of Sassuolo. Instead, in the second half we changed something, not only in tactical terms but above all in our attitude. We showed a fighting spirit that allowed us to deserve the victory. We showed the desire to recover the game and do better than in the first half. This desire to excel was fundamental
