Zauli, during the presentation of the match against Avellino, was asked if at the start of the championship he would have thought of finishing higher in the standings, the coach replied thus: «There is no need to go that far back in time, I Even in January I was convinced that we would finish in the top 3-4 places, but things then went differently.” There was also a parenthesis in which Crotone was coached by another coach, Baldini, which Zauli doesn’t want to talk about: «I wasn’t there, I don’t want to talk about it, but there remains a parenthesis in which few points were scored . Since I came back, apart from the unfortunate match against Brindisi, we have had some good performances.”
Even for Avellino, Vitale and Bruzzaniti are not among those called up, but they are not even on the injured list. «I have responsibilities – is the coach’s explanation – and I see, I observe, then I make choices. If I see things I don’t like I say so. I also talked about it with the company who told me to continue on my path. It’s a decision that could be temporary, or not.”
Words of praise were given to other players: «Felippe came on against Monopoli and gave order and geometry. Kostadinov is growing, when he arrived no one knew him, we even tried to change his role and now he is becoming an important player for us. It will help us a lot. Gomez and Vinicius are not in their best condition but due to the injury they have we don’t have time to wait for them. Together with the doctors we decided to spare them during the week, they will always be involved in the game.”
