Taranto closes the regular season with a victory. The rossoblù return from Latina with three points, obtained thanks to goals from Zonta and Simeri. “In the first half we played football that is difficult to see in this category – said Eziolino Capuano, Taranto coach, at the end of the match -. In the second half, however, we dropped, we lost the distance and conceded a goal. We suffered, but at the same time we failed to win 3-1 several times. There is no shadow of doubt about the victory, even today we had very important absences but whoever plays does well.”
”Kanoute’s replacement? Nothing special happened, but he shouldn’t have reacted like that, the group comes first. We are second in the table and we have achieved a football masterpiece, one of the best of my career. I thank those who chose me and brought me back to Taranto after 21 years. I arrived with the desertion and my greatest victory was giving back a sense of belonging to the people. We have carved out a place for ourselves in the recent history of the club, no one would have expected this result, but we achieved it by making unlimited sacrifices.”
“If my father had been there I would have dedicated it to him, he would have been very happy. Moments like the one we experienced with Casertana gave us the strength to reach this high. We have shown that we are not inferior to anyone, from Monday we will go back to work to continue dreaming.”
”The penalty? Sampdoria only had two points deducted for not having paid salaries and contributions but we respect the League’s decisions. I can’t find an alibi, we would like to know our opponents at least a week before the playoffs but we are used to these situations”, concludes Capuano.
