They are important because we “build” the team, with them we see our weaknesses and improve. We had absences today, we thank the people who came to the stadium. The worst part of the game was Bates’ injury (anterior shoulder dislocation). It doesn’t seem to be something simple… If it’s something bad, it’s bad first for him and then for us. Let’s wait for the results of the tests he will take tomorrow. If we need to do something with the administration, we will. Harrell dived for the ball (4th quarter), maybe concussed».
