Massimo Taibiformer director of the Regginaspoke to Irpinia TV, on the Linea Verde Sport format, focusing on the moment at home Avellinoafter the defeat against Taranto and now on the eve of the playoffs.
These are his words: “I would have imagined that on Saturday Avellino would play for the championship victory with Crotone and Benevento. The championship said otherwise. Juve Stabia won with clear merit, several days early. Without Juve Stabia , behind us, we are seeing a lot of balance, Avellino and Benevento on equal terms, Taranto itself is there, so, let’s say I would have expected this, but for a fight in first place he said something else second place, which is important in view of the playoffs which in any case are a lottery.”
On Cionek: “I know him very well, he was born as a wingman, then over the years he is finding himself better at the center of defence. He has done quite well this season, not as great as I would have imagined, given that he is a player who has he’s done well in the higher categories, but he’s certainly giving it his all. Maybe even some injuries have held him back a bit. I know him well from Modena and then Reggio, he’s a guy who never holds back.”
On Liotti: “Not because I had him, but he is a boy of a superior category, a player who has running, legs, insertions and sees the goal, also scoring 3-4 goals a season, he has them in his heart. a boy who is part of the team and the locker room, sensitive, as we saw after the goal, when he started crying out of emotion. He is an absolutely Serie B player, as I see it, he was a starter last year Reggio with us in Serie B, therefore, had some difficult moments, due to his absence from the field, but for Avellino he is certainly an absolutely top-quality signing.”
On the playoffs: “Avellino is certainly a great team, they have to think about finishing second, recovering psycho-physical energy and then we’ll see. There are Padova, Vicenza, in the same group C, Taranto, Crotone, Benevento. The playoffs are complicated, because one detail is enough to go home, a wrong race, an unfavorable and unlucky episode, they are really a lottery, the strongest doesn’t always win and often many surprises come out.”
On Gori: “He needs to be pampered, he gives his all with a fixed striker at his side. He has great technique, he is very strong in the area, he is a player who can make Serie B. I think he will also be an added value in the playoffs if he has already demonstrated his qualities during the season.”
On Ghidotti: “Last year I wanted to take him to Reggio Calabria. I wanted to put him together with an expert to help him grow. It’s clear that Avellino is not Lega Pro, Avellino is a place from other categories, where pressure and criticism They are. And a young man must grow immediately in places like this a goalkeeper ready immediately, for a place like Avellino we needed an expert perhaps, who has broad shoulders, that depth and those criticisms that perhaps exist”.
On Perinetti’s work: “I have immense respect for the director, his career and history speak for themselves. Then there are some years which are still good, not splendid as everyone expected. When you don’t win you have to ask yourself questions, these are the club and the director will do it at the end of the season, without forgetting that now there are playoffs to try to win and go to Serie B and maybe those criticisms will then become applause.”
