“There are some regrets about the match against Como and I also spoke about it with the players, it’s one of the flaws of the year because we didn’t deserve the defeat, but I’m keeping the attitude that will also be useful tomorrow against Bari. We must always try to find motivation, it is not easy because it is above all a mental matter. In these two final matches we need to have it.” This is what the Cittadella coach says Edoardo Gorini taking a step back before looking at the match against the Apulians which can keep the play-off hope alive: “We have achieved salvation which was the first and most important objective and now let’s try for the play-offs, in football you never know and anything can happen. – Gorini continues as reported Trivenetogoa.it – Seeing Bari in that position is strange, but after a defeat in the final it’s not easy to start again especially in a very hot place like Puglia. It will be a nervous match especially for them, we want to win because we still have a goal up for grabs. They are going through a difficult time mentally, but they are uniting together with the fans.”
Then there is room for the possible formation to oppose the red and whites: “Little changes between 3-5-2 and 3-4-2-1, but I will definitely go ahead with the three-man defence. Let’s recover Salvi and Danzi compared to Como, for the rest we are the same as the last match, then we will evaluate how some other players recover. Iori? He was an important figure and a natural leader, but leadership can grow in ways and ways. Branca, Vita and Pavan perhaps have it in other ways, as does Maniero who is an important player and has an impact. Everyone has their own character. This year a good group was created and there were many positive things, but unfortunately there were 8 defeats in a row which I still struggle to explain.”
Finally, a doubt still to be resolved in attack: “Pandolfi and Cassano? There are moments in football and many variables. With the change in the game system Cassano was perhaps penalized, against Bari it is a match that he cares about. In today’s football, starters and reserves no longer exist, especially for Cittadella who work on intensity. I was a player, everyone would like to play 90 minutes, but it’s not always possible.”
