L’Avellino Of Patience wins 4-0 in the last test before the official debut in the 2023/24 Serie C playoffs, scheduled for Tuesday 21 May. The Wolves won 4-0 over Armando Stirpe’s Trastevere: goals from Rigione, De Cristofaro in the first half and goals from Gori and Marconi in the second half. At the end of the joint training session between Avellino and Trastevere, the green and white coach spoke at the press conference Michele Pazienza.
Pazienza’s declarations
Pazienza said: “Our playoffs will finally begin and we are approaching it in the right way by paying attention to all the details. In the test with Trastevere there were other indications. After tomorrow’s recovery day we will have to show up on Thursday, shaking off those celebrations that took place and returning to being the edgy team that we were for most of the championship. In front of goal the boys got there quite well, with energy and strength, but I say that we lack the hunger and determination that led us to score so many goals. The game systems tested are the same as those we had in the last two releases. An official match is different from a friendly, but the pace was good. We need to put the wickedness into friendly matches too.”
The coach continued: “The difficult thing was keeping the pace high. When the three points aren’t there you struggle to ask for maximum effort and concentration. This was the most difficult aspect to manage. The easiest part was the physical work to be able to recover and put fuel in my legs. Lores Varela? It is growing. Today I didn’t have the opportunity to get him to put any minutes into his legs but only because the race is upon us. The ones he used today are the ones who can give us a hand on that occasion, but he is not in those conditions yet. Attacking midfielder? I don’t ask for great things other than to work according to where the ball is and consequently the two strikers must move.”
The coach concluded: “Playoffs? The teams concede little and are very compact. Which also happened in the Casertana match, with dangerous situations that could be counted on the fingers of one hand. But it’s part of the playoffs. Ownership? They are all strong and can play from the start. I will make the choice based on the type of game I want to prepare. It’s clear that the closer the race gets, the more tension rises, but you have to understand when to stay on track. Cionek And Rock they are the only ones who have had some ailments in the last two weeks, but are fine now. When you score a goal from a free kick, much of the credit always goes to the kicker and today’s quality didn’t satisfy me“.
