In this category we know very well that we will not be able to relax in a single match, we want to play it with everyone. Only in mid-September will we be able to have clearer ideas about the value of the other teams. I am very satisfied with the work done by the club to strengthen the team and thus face a difficult championship like that of B2 in the best possible way. We then got the go-ahead to play the home games at 8 pm ».
