Avellino, Perinetti: “The euphoria must last three days”
Perinetti: “The euphoria must last three days. Time to hug families again. Then you will need maximum concentration. We don’t know who we will face but it will certainly be a valid opponent otherwise it would not reach the quarter-finals of the playoffs.”.
Perinetti: “Patience and alternatives are our strengths”
Perinetti: “We have changed a lot after a negative season, the one we inherited. Changing a lot never helps, but we have built a healthy group with important professionals. Union counts, we must abandon the “I” and continue to cultivate the “We”. We have many alternatives, which can be our strength. Ten minutes can be enough to be decisive. Patience guided the balance with wisdom and attention”.
Perinetti on the January transfer market
Perinetti on the January transfer market: “Pazienza was unable to take part in the January transfer market and it was right to give him functional players in January. Thanks to them the coach was able to better express his football beliefs.”.
Perinetti on the playoff opponents and the aspects to improve
Perinetti: “I think it’s almost impossible to say who the opponent to beat in the playoffs is. Maybe Vicenza. We have time to improve our outside shooting which, due to its characteristics, we have made little use of so far.”.
Perinetti: “I hope not to face teams from our group”
Perinetti: “I hope we won’t face teams from our group again, but for a purely cabal issue”.
Perinetti on Patierno, D’Agostino and the fans: “We have a mission to accomplish”
Perinetti: “Patierno? He would host a dinner for the top scorer title, but the best is yet to come. We have a large property. Until the last moment for D’Agostino and the public we must give our best. We have a mission to accomplish.”.
Avellino, Pazienza: “Second place gives us self-esteem”
Start with Patience: “There were difficulties, but we achieved second place which gives us an advantage in the playoffs as well as a lot of self-esteem. The championship finale gave us, above all, the opportunity to reconcile with the fans.”
Patience with friendlies and the training programme
Pazienza continues: “We have to define the friendlies, but the training program has already been drawn up. We need to recharge from a psychological point of view and prepare from a physical point of view. As soon as the playoffs start we will have the opportunity to study the opponents. The postponement of the playoffs does not change the plans. We will resume training starting from Wednesday”.
Patience on the Avellino squad in view of the playoffs
More Patience: “I am aware of the strength of the workforce. I have always said that I have a deep and complete roster. Against Crotone, among those warned of a booking, I only managed Frascatore because he is the only left-footed centre-back. We know that we will have to continue to prepare more matches in the same match both from the start and during the match.”.
Patience on Sgarbi while the match is underway
Snubs during the match in progress: “The opponents have learned to know him and limit him better. We cannot put all the burden on their shoulders as happened last year in January with Marconi. This applies to Sgarbi, Marconi and Gori. Responsibilities must be divided. We cannot afford to start out too unscrupulous. We prefer to evaluate from time to time in which area of the pitch to deploy him. In that area of the pitch, then, we need at least one of the three interpreters with Lorenzo’s characteristics. Russo has only returned to full fitness in the last month. D’Ausilio needed time to adapt to our game speed. Due to his choice of characteristics we used Varela as a midfielder and he is about to return.”
Pazienza, little curtain call with Molino
Pazienza, little scene with Molino: “Gigi, Patierno runs much more than you. Come on, though, maybe you were meaner under the door”.
Patience on Patierno
Patience: “Due to his characteristics, Patierno can last ninety-five minutes, it is normal that having a deep squad I have the possibility to rest him when needed but it has rarely happened”.
Patience, appeal to the fans
Patience: “An appeal to the fans. Help us with the sold out stadium. Not just the Curva, the whole stadium. See you soon”.
Condò: “Second place is deserved”
I condò: “Second place is deserved. We wanted to win the championship, but there are also opponents and that’s how it went. Second place is a good starting point.”.
He asked: “Patierno? It’s difficult to find someone like him in Lega Pro.”
I condò: “Patierno reached great levels at an advanced age, but at the moment it is difficult to find someone like him in the Lega Pro. He scores goals, he sacrifices himself for the team. We are the best attack in the championship thanks to his 20 goals, but obviously let’s not forget Sgarbi and Gori.”.
Cond on Ghidotti
I condò: “Ghidotti showed great personality in the moments in which he was criticized, he made exceptional interventions and some mistakes, which are part of growth. He has character and personality and it was not easy to demonstrate them in a place like Avellino”.
Condò and the relationship with Perinetti
He condò on Perinetti: “I have a wonderful relationship with him. I’m flattered that he called me a fantasist. We hope to gain great satisfaction together.”.
Condò on the postponement of the playoffs
I condò: “Switching off for 24 days isn’t easy but we’ll get there with a series of friendlies. The slip? Every year there is one, unfortunately, and even those who have respected the rules are affected”.
Molino: “Vicenza is a team to avoid in the playoffs”
Mill: “Vicenza is the team to avoid in the playoffs both due to the quality of the squad and because there is Vecchi on the bench who is a very good coach with a tooth for the elimination with Sudtirol in 2021 and for the environmental factor”.
