The technician ofAcireale, Salvatore Marrathus presented the challenge with the Sancataldese:
“A challenge similar to the one with Canicattì? Yes, we are facing a team that will want to finish well at home and will not give anything away. We have to go there aware of what happened two weeks ago, it was hard to get rid of and we still carry waste with us. We have to do our duty, then in the 90th minute we’ll see.”
“This season finale could have gone better, it could have been done better. Unfortunately when you chase and make a run like we did everything seems easy. Unlike those who are fighting with us, Acireale is the only team that has changed the coach, who has changed almost 40 players. The others, however, have a different structure, a more continuous framework and the tranquility of working in quiet places, while ours is a tough place. We are especially sorry for the fans, we cared a lot. However, we have recovered 10 points from a team that is equal on points with us. Now let’s go to San Cataldo and try to win and then wait for the other results.”
“I’m happy, the team showed a lot of character. It wasn’t easy to play at home, in front of our fans, after a 5-0. It’s true that one Sunday went badly, the following Sunday it wasn’t easy to play. Sometimes he made mistakes, but we made mistakes trying to play. The team found confidence, I applaud the team because they believed in us despite the mental defeat, we had wasted a match point to go to the play offs. The boys lowered their heads and thought about pedaling. This is the way that has distinguished us so far. It is not easy to manage many situations that we have managed this year. I can’t understand why they consider Sant’Agata, Ragusa and Casalnuovo as happy realities, while what Acireale has done is somewhat denigrated. They were up there a long time, we were down and managed to chase. This is also a price to pay. It’s normal that there is great regret, much more could have been done.”
