First of all I want to thank the fans for the support they gave us in game 1, it was incredible. The stadium was full and they supported us throughout the match. We felt their energy and passion and this helped us a lot. As demonstrated in the first match, Campobasso is a very aggressive team that never gives up. We know that a difficult match awaits us, we play on a difficult pitch with a crowd that makes itself heard. They are an excellent team, it will be important for us to follow the instructions of the technical staff, playing concentrated from the start. We have to give everything we have to close the series.
