Valerio Bertottotechnician of Giuglianoin the press conference he presented the playoff match against Audace Cerignola, as reported by Campaniaingol.it: “The playoffs are a tournament, like a European competition which involves the participation of the best teams in a championship, we have guaranteed this thanks to a fabulous season, thanks to the exaltation of a group that has become a real team over time, which has emerged from somewhat murky waters, thanks to willpower, the desire to be protagonists and the desire to create a path different for themselves and for the history of the club. The satisfaction and joy of having worked alongside these guys every day is incredible, however, as in all things, the moment you realize something you have to move on to the next step. It’s not an aspect that is easy to metabolise, so there is a growth path on that too.
A new chapter in our adventure opens, we will face the next match with a confidence that we have been carrying with us for seven-eight months. From day one, I have always told the boys that winning is in my culture. So nothing changes in my communication precisely because we have to win tomorrow. Available? Everyone is there, except Valdesi and Baldi.
I showed the kids some things, I extrapolated an English term which is underdog: in the history of sports there are thousands of situations in which a team, despite not having the media attention, managed to achieve extraordinary feats. We must face the playoffs with serenity, with certainties that weren’t there before, with the awareness that things can arise from time to time and with the serenity of those who know that to reach the goal you have to stay within the goal. Is playing with Cerignola an advantage or a disadvantage? I consider it an advantage because the wound is still fresh and because we know the difficulties we have encountered. Do I sense the boys’ desire to win? I can feel it, they understood they had a great opportunity to showcase a journey that gave them a dream. Dreams, however, must be made real.”
