“The team is fine, the impression is that they have recovered well and will therefore be ready for tomorrow. We can’t wait to play in front of our fans who were exceptional on Sunday evening too and gave us the strength to bring out energy little by little.” The Vicenza coach spoke like this in the press conference Stefano Vecchi on the eve of the first leg of the Serie C play-off final against Carrarese: “These guys have always prepared impeccably and this allows us to face the matches with great spirit and presence, both competitive and mental. – continues Vecchi as stated on the club website – In times of difficulty, our audience manages to make us bring out our last reserves and encourages us to never give up”.
Then there’s room for tomorrow night’s match: “Our secret was to think one match at a time, looking for a performance, so we have to go out on the field to do it even if we know that the stakes are high. By doing this we have had great advantages and our path says so, our goal is right there in front of us and we must reach it knowing that we will then have to go and play big in Carrara regardless of the home result. – continues Vecchi – The synthetic of the Tuscan stadium may be a variable in their favor, but we have already had a taste in Avellino and demonstrated that we are strong even in those conditions”.
“Carrarese has been building and planning to win the championship for some years, we cannot rely on prestige and coat of arms or we would be making a big mistake. Vicenza has plenty to spare, while they arrived here because they know how to plan. Last year I won in Salò and the coat of arms wasn’t there, we’re going to face a team that beat Perugia, Juve NG and Benevento who were among the favourites.”
