“The only advantage will be to have two home games”. Here is the only sign of optimism conceded by coach Zaytsev as he got to know that Crema would be his Roma’s opponent in the final. “If they made it that far, like we did, it means they have good legs, technique and the right experience to play for the A1 – he added – Crema had a spectacular second half of season while we had been at the top from the start. Our position allowed us to play and win the Italian Cup, and prepare well the playoffs. It all make sense, and we will benefit from it, but if we are focused and play as well as against Bologna”.
