Assistant Coach Andrea Diana spoke on the eve of the game with Verona: “Verona is a team that has raised its performance compared to the first game and comes from some important victories such as the home win against Brescia. A team to be approached with physicality from the start: it will be important to limit lost balls since Verona is the second team for recovered balls. They are very good at anticipating passes, so our offense will have to be balanced and careful but at the same time aggressive. Defensively our approach will be important: we need to be aggressive from the start, especially to avoid conceding second opportunities since Verona is a team that goes to rebound with a lot of energy. We are in first place in the standings and we want to stay there: tomorrow will be an important game that we want to win in front of our fans.”
