“We are in a good physical and psychological condition, though we can and must do more,” said Gasp in his Press conference.
“We want to end the Verona taboo. We know the difficulties that this fixture holds, as they will want to put the recent negative results behind them and can count on a passionate crowd.
“As for us, the table is closing up and there are many teams bunched within a few points of each other. I am happy with the way the team has grown and the points accumulated, but we are still motivated to do better.”
