“At the end of last season I had a little problem with my arm, now it’s back but we’re still monitoring it to avoid any risk. Now I feel good and I want to have a good trip with my national team at both the European Championship and the pre-Olympic tournament. Then I can’t wait to meet my new teammates and start the new season with them really excited and motivated!”.
“I’ve been carrying the emotions of the end of the season with me since last year: the decisive win in Monza with Fox’s block was not only important for the goal, but also touching for all of us. We talked about this evening for a long time, we all remember it well! Goals? Salvation first, and then when the conditions are set to do something more, we will not back down.”
