Despite the third loss, slow but continuous progress could be seen in Montichiari’s game against Crema. “The championships is getting nearer as we played this friendly. Despite the result, I could see how focused were the boys on the work done this week – explained Dario Simoni- The dig and block worked well, but we lacked patience in attack.” The next friendly is in Trento on the 17th of September.
