“I like the proactive and constructive attitude of the boys” said coach Maranesi as the players completed a positive first week of pre-season training. The 13 players of the squad plus Marko Djuranovic have alternated sessions between the weight room, swimming pool and the gym. “There’s all the little body pains you might expect at the start with two sessions a day but I am enjoying it – said Horstink – This is a good mix of young and experienced players”.
