Great enthusiasm after the victory in the derby, second place is a double-edged sword. And about Sgarbi…”

Sunday at 8pm‘Avellino will take the field at Iacovone against Taranto. We heard exclusively on our microphones Nicola Ciotolastriker who wore both shirts: “I have wonderful memories especially of Avellino, where I played for two years, in Serie B and in D where we won both the championship and the scudetto. Many emotions experienced at Partenio. Avellino and Taranto are two warm places they live football with a lot of passion. Even in Taranto they live football with a lot of emotions so I remember the moments spent in Puglia with pleasure.”

Speaking about the next championship match, the former striker underlines: “The victory in the derby for Avellino was very important, it gives you self-esteem, enthusiasm and confidence so on the wings of enthusiasm you have to go to Taranto and put in a great performance to bring a positive result at home.”

On the player he would take away from Avellino, if he were an opposing coach, Ciotola specifies: “I like quality players, beyond Monday’s goal I’ve always liked him Lorenzo Sgarbi. They are those players who shift the balance, who are technically strong and skilled at playing between the lines. He always manages to make the right play, in my opinion he can have an important career.”

If Avellino ends the championship in second place they will have to sit still for a few weeks waiting to know their opponent in the playoffs and in this regard Ciotola underlines: “Every time I played in the playoffs I never took long breaks. Even with ten teams when I disputed them with the Casertana I played right away. Obviously it is better to come second than third or fourth. When you have days off, you shouldn’t lower your training pace, always staying focused even when you’re not playing. Let’s say it’s a double-edged sword, you shouldn’t lower your concentration.”

Focusing on the missed championship victory, the former green and white player stated: “Credit must be given to Juventus Stabia who had an incredible championship. It was the team that proved to be a surprise winner on the field. At the starting line they weren’t the favorite but they had an incredible championship conceding very few goals. They were the most continuous. Avellino had an excellent championship but lacked the consistency to win it and had some unexpected setbacks. That was Avellino’s limit this year.”
