Today saw the press conference of Alessandro Capelli, who spoke about Padova’s situation in view of 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.” Capelli has proven to be a wild card, who can be used in different areas of the pitch: “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.” In the playoffs, there will be many high-quality opponents. Capelli has clear ideas: “Avellino and Benevento are very competitive, Vicenza is also in our group. But we are in the game 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.” Capelli also remembers last year’s playoffs with Pro Sesto: “We had a great championship, at a certain point we were first, something incredible for a team like ours. At a certain point we really believed it. 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”
