Benevento
You can be “man of the match” even without scoring goals. Especially when defending the posts of a football goal. Alberto Paleari ended it this evening with a double blow, like in the good old days: “Thank goodness, I wanted to keep the door clean. We did it, they are happy, we celebrated with the “pres”, he was very excited too”.
Somehow he had foreseen that it would be a painful evening: “I said we weren’t coming to manage it, but we had to suffer: we knew their strength, always ready to find plays in midfield, they put us in difficulty. From tomorrow we will return to Rome and prepare to face Carrarese who are equally strong.”
The best save in the first half was on a header by Diakité which bounced to the ground: “When the ball bounces to the ground it’s always difficult, their penalty areas weren’t as good as ours at Vigorito. However I managed to save. The group is united, we will need everyone, in the return match against Carrarese Pinato will also be back and we will need him too.”
Something different needs to be done to beat the Calabro team: “We will have to work well in the department and find new solutions up front, we know that Carrarese has excellent performers, an excellent goalkeeper: when we don’t concede goals we are happy, but we don’t want to let suffer all the fans who are at home. We will try to unlock it sooner next time.” He doesn’t say it, but with Meccariello’s entry into the center he felt more calm: “Biagio has wanted to play for a long time, we discuss his use, we respect him and we know we can count on him, we know we have another arrow to our bow. The coach will always decide on his use, but we are certain that he will give us a great hand.”
