Bavagnoli: “Belief and hard work key ahead of Sassuolo”

“We go into this game with great belief and we've worked really hard,” Bavagnoli said.

“We've prepared well and morale is high after our recent wins. We're getting better all the time. I'm happy because I've noticed small improvements – things like our determination to start games strong and be aggressive. We know that we've prepared well.”

The Giallorosse head into the fixture after three straight wins while Sassuolo have picked up four points from their first four games.

“I'm expecting to see a strong, determined, well-organised side," Bavagnoli continued. "The two matches Sassuolo lost two were against Juventus and Fiorentina. They've signed some great players as well - players like Daniela Sabatino, who needs no introductions, and [Luisa] Pugnali. They've added real quality to a team that was already very well equipped.”
