Marco Imperialeleft-sided center back of Carrarese’s three-man defence, took stock of the Italian team a few days after his debut in the playoffs: “Just a few days’ break and we found ourselves determined and concentrated as we have been throughout the season and with a clear idea in mind. the objective to be achieved. At this moment it is essential not to suffer injuries, for example I had a very slight setback which does not cause any concern in terms of the races to be played and in any case, in general, on a physical level we are in good shape and are coping various sessions also with double training sessions and some training matches. It is important to maintain the mentality that has distinguished us throughout the championship even if we don’t know the next opponent.”
The strength of Carrarese, with the individual and collective resources at its disposal: “Our squad is complete and of quality. Over the course of the season we have shown that there are not only the eleven who take to the field but at least sixteen protagonists, including the substitutes and in any case twenty-four interchangeable players, without the level ever dropping substantially, plus there is a great mix in the group and a good dose of experience and personality which are useful elements for spinning the episodes that decide the matches, even more so. competitions like the playoffs.”
Carrarese who starts, according to the experts, not exactly among the favorites of the forecast: “It’s true that there are no mentions wasted for Carrarese but our championship in terms of quality of performances and continuity of results deserves other considerations from everyone. Honestly , the matches are played in the green rectangle and not outside the field and for this reason we are not particularly bothered by being little talked about. Rather, we have the possibility to make everyone think again because we have no one in particular to fear and I’m sure that at the right time our value will come out.”
