A Power gritty, eager and proactive, he made the first leg of the Serie C playout his own. A good performance from the rossoblu who developed the game and closed the Monterosi which, in reality, did not produce dangerous actions with Alastra practically inactive. If we wanted to make a note on the match, Potenza should have won, deservedly, with more goals by the margin and the VAR was also postponed due to some decisions not taken such as the foul on Di Grazia. Mister rossoblu Pietro De Giorgio analyzed the match in the press room of Bonolis Of Teramo and the difference with the latest performances was visible: he accepted the compliments but: “Be careful with compliments. We need to be even more focused, I don’t want any lapses in concentration because the decisive match will be on Sunday. As for the boys, we spent four weeks working hard, with a lot of professionalism and I had seen a change. Today I expected this type of performance and I have to thank the whole squad because there wasn’t anyone who shirked their commitment. The credit goes to them.”
Potenza seemed with more energy compared to Monterosi and with 1,000 fans following… “It was a scenario that we had sensed a bit, I said it yesterday in the press conference, the skill of the fans in the comparison because since then I have seen things change. I am happy because today we gave the numerous fans who came that that they deserved, perhaps even, there is a hint of regret because we could have ended the match with a few more goals, however, there was character, technique, heart, desire, tactical order, I think it was a perfect match “.
The regret of not having finished ahead first half and the flaws oflast step. “The last pass is a very important phase, we were good at building from the back, we got close to their area many times but we missed the last pass and we are working hard on it. The last pass is that of the important player , it is the quality that puts us in a position to close on goal and we will continue to work on it during the week. I am happy to have seen a Potenza with the right attitude and the right desire.”
The team he knew exactly what to do, because it didn’t happen before. “I don’t know, I thought about something else when I wasn’t there, it’s not even up to me, honestly, to answer. However, I am convinced of the work done with the boys in these four weeks. When I heard, in the end of the first half, the boys who wanted to continue like this because it was the match we had prepared, I was sure that they believed in what we were doing and those sentences gave me a lot of peace of mind and I also took the opportunity to push because it would have been a shame to lead to home only a draw”.
L’mistake not to make this week, the smile after the performance. “To smile… I will do it on Sunday because we have to keep our heads down, it’s too important this week, it’s even more difficult because we have to be happy with the performance we did which allows us to believe in our abilities for the emotional and character, but the desire and concentration must be even greater because we can’t make mistakes and if today we did it for a little bit, in the next one I don’t want that to be wrong either. On Sunday at the end of the match we will take stock, but I have to stay on track, c ‘I’m so tired but I can’t let my guard down right now”.
Schiattarella And They catch after the protests they gave the “la” for salvation. “As for the protests, I think it’s right because they are the most representative, most important players and when things go wrong in all parts of the world it’s normal for you to get angry with the strongest. I strongly believe in work, for example, Steffè I put him back in because I saw that the boy wants to be present. We lost Armini because he woke up with a fever but I don’t think anyone noticed that he was missing, our strength is precisely this, whoever is playing does it. good. For example, Hristov would have started today and I would have left Maddaloni out, for a matter of centimeters. I preferred Steffè to Castorani because in the second half he had given us a great contribution, we strengthened the physical part, I didn’t know if Schiattarella or Caturno would last ninety. minutes because I was expecting such an important match. I believe in work and then, over time, the players’ values come out.”
The Monterosi. “We had studied it during the week and the only doubt we had was Rossi or Vano, but in any case we had worked on both situations because they are players with different characteristics. I expected the match to go like this. However, the credit goes to the boys because there was a great performance, a demonstration of heart, of determination, of character, which goes beyond the tactical aspect which is certainly important because we must be tactically ordered, but the positive aspect is the response that we had today on a character level, we finally saw a team that is hungry, that has desire, that wants to reach the goal.”
