The “Itas 190° Trophy” remains property of Trento thanks to a 3-1 victory over Modena, as Stokr, Kaziyski and Djuric shined. Although he is without Birarelli and with a lot of work to do for the team to gel, coach Radostin Stoytchev can be happy with the level shown by his players in the prestigious friendly win.
“Winning against a tough team like Modena is always a good sign before the start of the season – admitted Stoytchev – Tonight we tried mainly to play fast and vary a lot. It did not always go well but the effort was good considering they have basically not trained together before the game”.
