Last playoff call for Foggia who tomorrow, 27 April, in Teramo against Monterosi will play their remaining hopes of participating in the play-offs for promotion to Serie B. It will not depend only on the Rossoneri, who are forced to hope for negative results from the Audace Cerignola , first and foremost, but also Catania at the bottom of the table. In between, we have to play a delicate match against Monterosi who are fighting for the playouts. “If there were to be resignation I would have already left, there is disappointment after the failure to win against Cerignola but the games must be played – states Mirko Cudini in the pre-match press conference -. The chances are few but it’s up to us to take back what we lost on Sunday. We will give our best.”
THE MATCH. Tenkorang and Rizzo are still out (due to intestinal virus), the rest of the group (excluding long-term injured players) will be available. And on the field we will have to avoid making calculations. “There is only one solution, not to be influenced and to play our game – says Cudini -. We have to demonstrate on the pitch what we are worth. We don’t go to lose or to make ends meet. It’s part of the game to have news from other fields, but we can’t play this match with the radio in our hands.” Foggia still has to get over the disappointment of the defeat in the derby against Audace Cerignola, but injuries have been the biggest factor lately. “It wasn’t the match we expected, we carry some waste with us but now we have this opportunity and we want to try to seize it. They tell me about situations where we would even invent injured people, these things don’t exist – says the Rossoneri coach -. I’ve never made a problem of those who weren’t there but the absences have influenced the choices a bit, even if we have players who adapt”.
SEASON. Cudini doesn’t trust Monterosi. “It’s a team that found itself in a position in the standings that it wasn’t hoping for, they have revolutionized a lot and are very physical, as well as being dangerous from set pieces. They must be taken with a grain of salt.” Finally the coach takes stock of Foggia’s season, with 90 minutes left to tell if the games are over or not. “This season must be seen in different phases, if we look at the second half of the season the team did what it was supposed to do but if we look at it from the beginning of the season, it wasn’t what we wanted. There is regret for not having played our chances to the best of our ability in the last few games. But the hopes are not over yet.”
