Second round of playoffs for Rimini on Saturday (8.30pm) at the Curi stadium against Perugia, fourth strength in the championship with 63 (against 50 points for the Romagna team). For the red and whites – one win and two draws in the previous matches between the championship and the Italian Cup – as in Gubbio, only a victory will be needed to go through. Pietrangeli and Iacoponi are still out, Gigli could be in the match. The coach evaluates some changes up front and in the middle in relation to some injuries.
Mister Troise, you face a stronger team than Gubbio according to the numbers. It’s really like this?
“Numbers are not everything, but they are indicative. In terms of characteristics they are two very different teams; Perugia is more physically structured, a team that makes great use of width, in the possession phase they have added a good quality of development and even on set pieces they know how to be very dangerous.”
What do you ask of your Rimini?
“We have to believe it because it’s true that we’re away, against a very strong opponent, with only one result available, but it’s also true that we’re playing everything in 90 minutes and a success would open up a different scenario, with back-and-forth matches. return. It will be a different match compared to the one in Gubbio where everything worked out for the best with the goal in the final part. In Gubbio in certain situations we arrived well in the penalty area where, however, we lacked that incisiveness, that wickedness that is needed in this type of dry matches”.
