They have improved significantly this season, compared to the last one in 2022, having registered 10 more wins.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s a successful season, but it\u2019s very encouraging,\u201d Rizzo said. \u201cNobody aims to win 70 games in a season, they want to win 90 games in a season. So that\u2019s our goal.
