The historic red and blue flag Giuseppe Mascarainterviewed by Chancebet News, talks about what didn’t work in the Sicilians’ year: “This club had plenty of time to organize itself and do well in Serie C, it didn’t take advantage of it. It was decided to take Tabbiani and, in my opinion, they didn’t build him a team suited to his football ideas. Then Lucarelli arrived, not having the ideal players for his way of playing football, he went on the market taking 13 new players. At the same time Lucarelli changed formation and formation on too many occasions, not finding anyone who made the difference in the team. Losing so many games without giving a slap, with people hiding behind the ball is very serious. Withdraw? I am not in favor of retiring because I believe that, in these moments, what is needed above all is the encouragement of the fans even during training.”
The former striker continues his analysis: “The Rossazzurri fans are much more mature than when we played. The whistles always came only at the end of the match. But for me this is a team without a soul, I repeat, because there has always been an alibi but in football you can’t find alibis. Football is life, passion, you work day after day to try to eliminate these situations. The errors are upstream. Because you kicked out the DS, you changed three coaches, Zeoli had to take this hot potato. I don’t hold it against these guys, but they were managed badly from the start. We also talked about the old and new players. You play for a unique component, old and new, but instead there were too many discontents and the players found themselves disoriented in certain situations. Who steers the boat here? From my point of view, the presence of too many people in society is inappropriate because it is easier to generate bad feelings. It is enough in C to have a president, a vice president, a brilliant director, a sporting director, a coach, the team, the team manager, the press officer, ball and jersey. We hope that this year has served Grella to gain experience and not repeat the mistakes he made. The hope is that the team, against Benevento, also plays for the club. Because it is true that the club has made many mistakes by failing on many things, but this is a club that has begun planning with important projects and prospects for the future. Let the players play for them too, putting a bit of pride and heart on the pitch.”
