The Partenio-Lombardi stadium is preparing to host the big match of the thirty-fourth day. Avellino, fresh from the defeat on the Giugliano field, seeks redemption against Picerno, an opponent called to reverse course after two consecutive stops. Wolves have the opportunity to secure third position, coach Michele Pazienza presents the match in the press conference like this: “We will face a team that has demonstrated that it has important values and numbers, through achieving results in difficult matches and in front of its fans He has been playing with different elements for more than a year, he now has mechanisms that work perfectly on the right and left chains. He is a tested opponent. We prepared the match very well, also aware of the mistakes made in the first match, I think it is It was the worst match under my management. We have to present ourselves with a different attitude.”
Then the point on the individuals: “Liotti is fine, he has recovered. The same goes for Rigione who had some difficulties in the first days of the week, we carried out the tests and injuries were ruled out, he is available. Disqualified? They will be replaced by players able to put into the eleven those characteristics that we will need for tomorrow’s match. Defence? Cionek will return. For the other solutions, in midfield and in the offensive line, we have alternatives. In midfield there will be the possibility to Llano, for Dall’Oglio and for D’Ausilio himself. In attack, however, we have Marconi and Russo, players who have different but useful characteristics for the match against Picerno: they can also play together from the start. Disqualified? With Rigione I have talked about, it’s an individual mistake, of choices. Sgarbi committed a naivety, also accentuated by the referee’s decision. A single day’s disqualification says a lot. Llano? He’s one of those players who is growing, he needed a little ‘ more time to have knowledge of the type of football and the times we have in this category. He is now showing important qualities. Against Giugliano he entered well, he created situations and took shots. He is a footballer who is growing. Varela? He is improving, now I don’t know how many weeks he will need. I count and hope to have him on the pitch as soon as possible. Patierno? At the moment he is leading the team with his attitude and his goals, and that’s what was expected from the start. It’s not always easy to meet expectations, we must congratulate him because he is succeeding. He is a boy who wants to grow and do well here.”
On the episode that concerned Armellino: “I’ll start with the story. There was a free kick where both he and Russo were close to the area where it was to be kicked. I didn’t realize that the boys had spoken to each other, Armellino was there to take the free kick, but I wanted Russo to take it. And so I shouted to give the indication. Armellino took the ball and said that he would kick it, making a gesture with his hand that is usually used to send people to hell. a person. This is the fact. On my own, however, I have the knowledge to understand and comprehend everything that happens on the pitch: the adrenaline, the emotion, the tension and the desire to restart the match. I didn’t realize that the guys had come to an agreement. Armellino is one of those who, together with Russo, Pezzella, Palmiero, Liotti and Dall’Oglio, stop at the end of training to take free kicks. That’s the end of it.”
On the question of referees: “It’s a topic that needs to be closed, it’s part of what happened in the Giugliano match. It needs to be put aside and we need to look forward, otherwise we’ll lose further energy.”
Pazienza returns to the direct clash: “Yes, it is a direct clash. We will face a team that has demonstrated important values on the pitch, achieving results on difficult pitches. Picerno has made a journey and does not find itself there by chance. The fact of having the chance to work together for longer gives them some advantages.”
On the fans: “I see the passion there is for this team and for this shirt, I perceive it. I use the word “people” because it is the one that comes closest to the passion and bond that exists between the team and its own fans. We must demonstrate, through facts, what we say. At the moment, to regain their enthusiasm we need results, to be achieved also through performances. This is the path we are trying to take.”
