Collect the last safety points, just to be safe, but above all look high in the standings. And the mission for Rimini today at the home of Fermana, bottom of the class, is not impossible. Even if Emanuele Troise has no intention of giving up early. The best way to do this is to highlight the strong points (evidently, not too many, rankings in hand) that the Marche people have. “Fermana are last, but it is also true – underlines the Rimini coach – that they will clearly play, as they did in the Arezzo match, with a knife between their teeth. They are playing at home, they will do everything they can to try to move up a few positions , and from this point of view we will have to be ready. It’s not an obvious match.” Troise says it and repeats it with the intention of making the message clear to him. And also trying to pronounce the word playoff as little as possible, almost with the rudder that his parents continue to suffer from dizziness. “We have to think from game to game – Troise’s mantra is always the same – The first against Pescara went well, the one in Fermo meanwhile allows us to be ready, we will then see at the final whistle what we have managed to gather. It is clear that for these six finals that remain the thought is to remain positive, in the certainty of a potential that can still have its say in terms of ranking”. So, playoffs. But without feeling suffocated. Neither from team objectives, nor thinking about personal ones. See you next season.
“The objectives that each of us have, personally, must be a secondary aim connected to that of the team – he underlines – Because it is clear that each of us must aspire and must demand more and more from ourselves. However, it is equally true that this team he has always shown that in many difficult situations, rather than a certain type of stake, he has put the team ahead, he also demonstrated this against Pescara for the umpteenth time.” And the future of Troise? Has he already talked about it with the company? “Not at the moment – he says – but I don’t think it’s the time either: there are points, matches and stakes of a certain type that must keep us all focused on the present. Then there will be time to discuss what could be the future”. So, on with the Fermana.
