The last training session was held under heavy rain, but served to fine-tune important details. After the session, coach Raphael Laruccia highlighted the confidence gained by the group and the importance of maintaining focus. The coach also emphasized the need for focus and execution of the plan set by the coaching staff.
“Coming off a win boosts confidence. It may sound repetitive, but we always highlight the balance of the championship, which is played at a very high level. We expect another tough, hard-fought match, but we are confident we can play a great game,” said the coach.
“We have to stay focused on our actions and everything we can influence, that is the main point. We believe in our game strategy and we have to stay focused on it, because we can only influence what we show on the field. That has to be our focus,” he added.
