Recanatese after the knockout in Cesena: “There is life, 6 points still up for grabs”

For the defeat, probably too clear, suffered in Cesena there are all the mitigating circumstances in the world except, perhaps, the way in which the Giallorossi “approached”. Fearful and submissive, they were put on the ropes right from the start and inevitably the two goals arrived which directed Manuzzi’s match in a clearly negative way.

Giacomo Filippi, why wasn’t the attitude appreciated in the second half when we tried, in vain, to reopen the games evident from the start?

“Because – replies the Recanatese coach – we played against a strong team who I congratulate for the two seasons they played. We were a little awkward in getting up and going to get them as we did in the second half. We shouldn’t have allowed their dribbling by suffering their initiative: unfortunately you can’t give certain gifts to Cesena (the reference is to the first goal resulting from a bottom-up construction that started badly and ended worse ed.) because they go well with these opportunities. Let’s try look at the glass half full and let’s start again from the second 45 minutes”.

Did Manuzzi’s ten thousand, especially on some young people, have an effect at the beginning?

“No, they showed off an excellent performance with determination, personality and I really liked this. I don’t think it had an impact on such an audience, in fact it should constitute an additional incentive for those who want to do this job”.

Could the episode of Siano, sensationally ignored by the referee, who overwhelmed Melchiorri have changed the course of things?

“We, on the bench, were a few steps away from where the event happened. In reality, there were two of them who overwhelmed Federico: not even the foul was called. Honestly, we can’t do anything about it, but many decisions were questionable even on the cards. But we must not pay attention to these things, but look at what we have done.”

We return to fourth from last place: at the moment they would be playouts with Vis Pesaro. In the last two races there are no alternatives to victory.

“Since my experience began, we have been aware that we have to score points in every match. There are still 6 points: therefore there is life and there is still hope to close it on April 28th. We trust in our abilities.”

The conditions of Lipari who left due to injury?

“From what the boy told me it doesn’t seem like it’s anything serious. Let’s say it was a purely precautionary replacement and there shouldn’t be any serious repercussions.”

Instead, leaving the Orogel Stadium, we noticed that Melchiorri was also limping quite noticeably: it wasn’t exactly a pretty sight.
