It was a pleasant game to watch and we also had fun on the pitch, pushed by the Sirmaniaci and by all the audience present who is always our extra man on the pitch. We enjoy the result for a few hours and then we resume working to improve and in view of the next round in Siena. We played some friendlies against them but the fairness counts, on Sunday we will have to think about our game first and obviously also about the characteristics of the opponent “.
