“The fourth place should not be discouraged, also because in the first 28 official matches of the De Giorgi management there were 23 wins and five defeats, an absolutely positive path that gives us hope for the future”. Thus the president of Fipav, Giuseppe Manfredi, in the aftermath of the finals of the men’s Nations League in Bologna, which ended with the first victory in the tournament of France and the fourth place of the national team of Ferdinando De Giorgi, beaten by Poland.
“The team was sorry for the matches against France and Poland, but we met with the strongest teams in the world and we have to accept the verdict – continues Manfredi -.
As I told the boys, the important thing is to put this parenthesis behind you and, after the rest period, to start again even more loads. We must take advantage of this experience to grow further, there is plenty of time to prepare well and be ready for the big event of the year, the World Cup in Slovenia and Poland “.
“The audience at the Unipol Arena was truly beautiful – underlines Manfredi -. Our fans have been fantastic, both in terms of encouraging the Azzurri national team and in terms of attendance during all matches. In four days we registered a total of over 25,000 spectators, people have shown for the umpteenth time the great attachment they feel towards our sport and how the blue jersey always exerts a very strong fascination “.
