A comment in particular on the playoffs which will begin on May 7th, as well as on Vicenza’s situation with the change of coach during the championship. Below are his statements.
Bucchi: “It’s essential to face the playoffs with awareness”
An immediate comment on the playoffs scheduled for Tuesday 7 May: “They are in a league of their own. Everything is reset, the episodes will be determined. When I was coaching Triestina we missed out on the victory against Palermo because we missed a penalty, it still weighs today! However, it is also essential to face them with an awareness of one’s own strength Vicenza can count on the support of the fansthis also weighs“. Bucchi also spoke about the teams that will participate: ” Benevento which has an important staff and which with Auteri has found his balance, Catania, Avellino, Triestina who will have a hard time if they know how to reset everything. Yet above all I have a name“. Among all 28 participants, Bucchi expresses his thoughts: “TorresI followed it often, I really saw many matches in the various groups: it is the one that plays the best football in all of Serie C“.
“Vecchi read the team well”
A comment also on Vicenza: “I know Vecchi well, we took coaching courses together and I met him as an opponent, good and serious. He was able to read very well what was wrong and he intervened with balance, with him we saw a more square team, which conceded almost nothing and produced more play. It’s a shame that by now there were so many points from Mantua, but the comeback was exciting and today Vicenza is a candidate for promotion“. Clear ideas on the key man of the red and white team: “It’s too easy and obvious to say Ferrari, I’m focusing on Proia, I know him, he’s a serious boy with important qualities, he has the right flair to cause damage to defenses, he can feel the goal. I hope he recovers soon and can make an important contribution“.
Bucchi: “Getting nervous is useless”
In conclusion, a comment on what will matter most for the playoffs: “There physical condition, but above all psychological stability because there are moments that need to be managed with extreme clarity and serenity, getting nervous and losing your head is of no use, on the contrary it makes things worse“. Finally, a thought about the future: “I’m hoping for a bench starting this summer, I’m ready and full of enthusiasm“.
