“With such an attentive team in the defensive phase, not only did we score them two goals, but we also created another 3-4 chances.” Vincenzo Vivarini This is how he commented on the first leg of the match Serie B playoffs against Catanzaro-Cremonese.

The team is doing well, we also had Situm training because he wants to be there too. We highlighted the difficulties we had and understood how we can have our say there too. What should they do?
