Five Superleague matchdays have been completed, although Yuasa Battery still has the match against Milan to play (Wednesday, November 19th at 8:30 PM). Coach Massimiliano Ortenzi’s men have earned one point in four competitive matches this season. President Rossano Romiti provided a clear-eyed analysis of the situation. “We can say that not much has changed since this start of the season, even compared to last year. We hoped to improve our results a little, but it’s still very early. The team and the group are new, there are some mechanisms we’re still struggling to get used to, so it takes time and work to find the ideal mix.”
The arrival of seven new players, some just days before the start of the season, and Dusan Petkovic’s injury have also had an impact. “Petkovic’s absence has certainly had an impact,” the president emphasized, “especially given his presence and experience. It’s no coincidence that we immediately worked this summer to keep him with us. He’ll be a huge help again this year, and we look forward to him getting back to full fitness because he’ll have a positive impact on our game.”
