Fink: “You don’t play against a Serie A team that often, so it’s certainly special. We want to enjoy this game. Our goal is to make it as good as possible. The Torino game is the price for our cup games so far.”

It's a great thing that you can experience something like that. But our goal is not to win the Coppa Italia.”

SN: How important is this cup game in your career?

SN: How will FC Südtirol spend Thursday until kick-off at 20.45:XNUMX p.m.?
