Benevento
Exclusive guest of Ottogol, Alberto Paleari spoke about Benevento’s situation exactly one week after their debut in the play offs: “We will find out the draw on Sunday. We trained in Rome to make sure everyone felt good, the work was hard. Now we are preparing specific things, even if it has never happened that we will know the opponent two days before the match. Usually we goalkeepers train based on the attackers we find, but now the work is particular. Even organizing the trip won’t be easy for Cilento. We really want to get started, just as it will be interesting to compare ourselves with the other groups. The one-off match is treacherous, but I believe that in the double comparison the values come out.”
IDLE BALLS – “In Rome we focused on dead balls. We know that carelessness can be costly. We must limit the defects now, then the matches will be so close together that it will be difficult to train.”
PLAY OFF – “Padova reached the final of the Italian Cup and did well in the championship. Vicenza is also a very respectable team, but in the play-offs there are only well-equipped teams. We can be the favourites. It’s true that we had difficulties in scoring goals, maybe we are missing the 15-goal striker, but in the play-offs there is no need to win big. We must consider that there will be no doubtful episodes thanks to the introduction of VAR. Eight matches await us that can change everyone’s career.”
FANS – “We feel the pressure a little, also because there are important players in the squad. The club must help us, we need it. If we manage to create an important amalgam, in my opinion we will be able to have our say very well.”
