At the next meeting they will participate with two other athletes under the orders of Ettore Marcovecchio and Caterina De Marinis, with whom I have a great relationship of esteem and trust for some time, we have always faced each other with their respective teams and compared several times on the fields of half of Italy.

In addition, I immediately wanted to set up an athlete’s path for them, it seems obvious but it’s tough to handle. Asia and Linda fell perfectly and willingly in the part and therefore this call-up with the national team is a great prize for them in the small part », concludes Fioretta.
