The words to the microphones of Tele Sveva by Giuseppe Raffaele, coach of Cerignola, after the 1-1 draw against Giugliano which earned them qualification for the second round of the playoffs, group stage: “Seeing where we started from is a great satisfaction, It wasn’t one of our most spectacular matches but when you break the ice it’s also difficult to do so. From experience the first one contracts you a bit, especially when you have the double result. There were some errors on a technical level but when I arrived this match we wouldn’t have completed it. The difficulties we encountered must be part of a growth process, when you manage to keep up in parts like these it means that you are a mature team.
D’Andrea was a bit anxious because he hadn’t scored in ten games, now that he’s unblocked he’s giving us a lot. The most important thing now is to recover mentally and physically to go and play a great match in Caserta. This year Cerignola lost at home and drew in Caserta, we know we only have one result against a team that has demonstrated its worth and plays good football. To go and achieve the feat we need the best Cerignola, I’m sure we will play a great match and we will give everything to try to get through this round.”
