“From our side there is a great desire to start again and restart in the best way, it will be a difficult game: this team, this field and this fan base we already tested them last year, but we want to start well and win. It matters so much to start well to give a positive signal right away, we will try to play with the right desire and determination. There is responsibility but also excitement, in recent years we have seen that reconfirming is difficult, but it will still be our goal”
Matteo Darmian
