Coach Stoytchev’s statements at the end of the match: “This match was an infinite emotion, especially in the tie break where we had several match balls. I am very happy because we started off on the right foot, and it is true that we were also a little lucky, but it was a fortune that was built. Congratulations to Piacenza who will certainly fight for the Scudetto ”.
