Comment of TC Campagna. “At the beginning we were a little mild – TC tells from Budapest – but after the third time and under three goals we together regained with quality and competitiveness. These are the matches that we need, beyond the result. These rivals are strong and give nothing. Now we reply at Stadio del Nuoto on Friday 13 June in Rome. They will play with the brothers Varga and Madaras who tonight have not taken the water. I expect a great public in Rome to support Settebello for a match giving great emotions. As usual, we are ready to honour any tasks and to get used to play on the greatest stages, as that of Stadio del Nuoto, with Hungary”.
