The statements of Pippo Costa after the victory withAvellino.
«We all played an immense game. From who played from the beginning to who joined, how Fantoni, a young guy who hasn’t played much this year, but has always been on the ball. I’m very happy, but the last step is missing.
Goal? We had tried the corner kick scheme. Initially the ball was supposed to reach me low to the ground, but we weren’t so sure. In the end we opted to raise it like this, it went well, come on! It was a great goal, then the stadium was like this, so much stuff! It’s beautiful, then going out and seeing my parents, proud, my family, my wife, the children, my friends who write to me. It’s all nice, but we haven’t done anything.
In the first match we were lucky, but it was the third match in six days and we felt a bit tired, we dropped a little too much and when you bring them to play inside your penalty area they have individuality that can get you into trouble. The coach was very good with his staff
prepare it, we took them high because we were playing at our home and I think it was a completely different game tonight. We all threw our hearts over the obstacle. Episodes can resolve it, Matteo invented a great goal, we scored on an inactive ball, Confente he made a couple of saves that saved us. Then the double red. You rarely see good matches at this point, they are all matches that are resolved on episodes and we were good at bringing them to our side, thanks also to luck. At the beginning of the year, perhaps, we would have lost the Avellino match 3-0. The strength of a group that goes beyond everything, that remains compact and everything, this is an extraordinary group.
How are we? Tomorrow morning we go for cryotherapy at the president’s house and then recover (laughs, ed.).
Final last year too? I have to take back something that was taken from me last year, then it would have a particular flavor here. We think game after game, even if there are only two left.
Expulsion? I think that every now and then the referees should put their hand on their conscience, because our captain was pushed by three of their players and I’m not sure how it went. Even if he won’t be on the pitch with us in the locker room, he is fundamental. In a group where everyone, including young people, is very important, we saw this in Alessandria. It’s not easy to get into a game like this Fantoni he did it well. We always train well and these are the results.”
