CATANZARO Two more games and one goal still within reach: reach fourth place in the standings, three points away. Catanzaro believes in it, even more so after the beautiful victory obtained against the battleship Venice. First, however, we will have to get the most out of the next two matches against Ternana and Sampdoria, two teams fully fighting for different goals: avoiding salvation and obtaining a place in the playoffs. «We – the Giallorossi coach Vincenzo Vivarini said today in the press conference – need energy, motivation, awareness for what we have to do on the pitch even against well-equipped teams like Venezia, in which, beyond the result, it is the game we wanted came out. I hope that the same personality will be shown by my boys in Terni. Our goal is to bring home the result». It won’t be easy against the Umbrians given the many defections that have affected Catanzaro for some time. «I am very sorry about this – admitted the coach – in addition to the absences of Ghion and D’Andrea, whose condition of Ambrosino to be evaluated worries us a little (the attacker took a blow to the back resulting in a spill on the bicep femoral, ed). I reminded the team this morning too: we are all indispensable and now we will have to be good at bringing out the best in us.” But considering the aches and pains and the not-at-the-top conditions of some elements, wouldn’t it be better to slow down to present ourselves in the best possible way for the playoffs? «Football – said Vivarini smiling – is a beautiful subject, in the sense that what you usually do, you can then repeat during the matches. If you are used to always working in one way, you don’t struggle. When performance decreases, performance decreases as a result. The turnover? We always try to sip everything, we rarely reach workloads that are too high, we have tried to avoid problems in terms of fatigue, so that’s not the problem. We must always think about maintaining high performance and giving our best. With five changes the energies can be managed.”
«It is important to give coaches time to develop their tactical project»
Vivarini also spoke about his tactical project and the high quality play expressed by Catanzaro this year. «A coach – he explained – who has a tactical project in his head, the moment he sees it implemented and developed by his players can only rejoice. This makes you understand how much it is It is important to give time to the coaches and their project. Unfortunately in Italy this rarely happens, everyone wants results immediately. I remember when I arrived here in Catanzaro the first year, we immediately wanted a team that would change the tactical project. It takes the right time, work and application from the players. We need to give the boys a big round of applause here.” On the Ternana: «We must not listen to any rumors about Ternana’s moment of difficulty. We face a team that will have great motivation like Venezia had. We must see it as another important test to keep our concentration and our absolute level high. Ternana has a very respectable attack, I like Raimondo a lot. Favilli himself is an excellent element. But the midfield isn’t bad at all either, there are strong players for the category.” About Donnarumma: «He must think not so much about the decisive play he made against Venezia, but about what he will have to do between now and the end. A player of his level can give us a great hand.” In Umbria he will be absent Sounas due to disqualification but will return Situm. Brighenti he is recovering and should be back in the group from Monday. ([email protected])
