Speaking to the journalists present, as can be read on the club’s official channels, striker Frank Tsadjoutscorer of the first Grigiorogia goal in the away match against ‘Ceravolo’: “Unfortunately, given the way the match had gone after Ciofani’s goal, there was the feeling that we could have won the match in a different way, but the draw is not a good result. Playing on a difficult pitch like that of Catanzaro, with many fans who gave a great boost to the team makes the draw an excellent result. We want to thank the many supporters who arrived despite the trip being complicated and being played during the week at the ‘Ceravolo’ to provide us with their great support, they have given us a huge hand in obtaining a result that offers us the possibility of reaching Saturday with a good chance of passing the round: now we will have the support of 11/12 on our side. thousand spectators who, like us, are chasing a dream to realize together. We footballers will do everything to be carried away by the support of our people.”

We must not forget that it is never easy after a relegation rebuilding the foundations to do something important. We succeeded precisely because there was always cohesion and unity of purpose within the group which led us to dream of direct promotion which unfortunately did not arrive some missteps. But at the same time there is still a great opportunity, we are a strong team and I count a lot on all my teammates. Even those who have played well give their contribution and this is our additional weapon.”
Returning then to the playoff match: “In those 50 minutes our strength was having the courage to keep the ball, Catanzaro knows how to hurt you offensively and when we lost a few balls we got into difficulty ourselves because we weren’t able to stop their attacks actions The secret against Catanzaro is to continue playing with personality, we have done it and we know how to do it. In our identity there is always the fact of pressing high, of playing one against one and switching from one approach to another not always immediate. But no presumptions, we know very well that Catanzaro are dangerous and in that context they can change the game at any moment. The goal reignited the stadium but we didn’t give up an inch and the draw is an important result.”
And he concludes: “Catanzaro will play the match of their lives and at the same time on the other side there will be a Cremonese team strong in their qualities and the fact of playing at home who, on the basis of those 50 minutes, will play a match worthy of the situation. It is in our power to bring home the result. And it is now right to give something more to honor that journey and reap the fruits of our work.”
