We are well underway, we are on the steps that we predicted on the eve of the withdrawal. We still lack a bit of shine in front of goal, but it’s all due to accumulated fatigue during workouts. We’re trying to play short, we get in a good condition for the Cup debut in Italy. Morimoto? he will be good in Catania today, today I liked. ”
