The Padova midfielder Andrea Julian Capelli he spoke like this in the press conference in the week preceding the last home match against Triestina: ““We had a great championship in the first part of the season. The first round was done well by everyone and the performances were excellent. Since the formation was changed I was penalized a bit, I knew I wasn’t the first choice and I played less. As a player I need space to make an impact, making the fifth is the right compromise. I like playing up front, but I don’t deny that I also liked playing full-back, like in the last match against Fiorenzuola. When Oddo told me that I would play last Saturday, I was very happy. Someone pointed out to me jokingly but not too much that that is the role that Oddo played as a player. Now I have become a wild card for the team. Teams to fear in the playoffs? Avellino and Benevento are very competitive, Vicenza is also in our group. But we are dancing and we want to dance. The January transfer window? I think strong players have arrived, we were rather lacking in the matches where we could have put pressure on Mantova. Now we know what our goal is, we participate in the playoffs to win them. Last year’s playoffs with Pro Sesto? We had a great championship, at one point we were first, something incredible for a team like ours, I think the best season of Pro Sesto in the last few years. At that point we really believed it. In the playoffs we stopped in the round of 16, I also scored against Vicenza, now I start again from the quarter-finals and hope to get to the end. Oddo told us that we must above all have fun. We had reached a point where there was little enthusiasm and light-heartedness, I won’t deny it, but it’s normal when you spend a lot chasing a team and see the objective vanish”. We had a great championship in the first part of the season. The first round was done well by everyone and the performances were excellent. Since the formation was changed I was penalized a bit, I knew I wasn’t the first choice and I played less. As a player I need space to make an impact, making the fifth is the right compromise.”
