The confrontation with Piacenza tells of an important gap in points between the two teams in the regular season standings which has not been confirmed by the results of the seasonal direct clashes already played, all in favor of our opponents. Gas Sales Bluenergy is a team capable of playing at very high levels and with great continuity, qualities that we will have to try to get closer to; I am confident that my team can do it, knowing their worth and the path they have taken well.
