After the success against Sorrento the sporting director of Casertana Alessandro Degli Esposti commented: “The team once again offered a great performance. In the difficulty of the initial deficit, we had the clarity and strength to put the match back on the right track. We once again demonstrated a good state of health. I’m happy because we obtained and consolidated the position in the standings with a round result, sending all the attackers to the net. Things that are good for morale. Today is also the right time for some considerations. we come to the end of a unique championship in some respects. We started on September 4th, but to tell the truth we started on May 21st, as soon as we won the play-offs in Pagani.
We immediately started thinking about something that few believed in. We weren’t first in the ranking, but we believed in it. We suffered a lot for two months, we had great stubbornness. For this I want to personally thank the president who has always believed in all this. We built this team in three and a half days. Six minutes before closing we still had Montalto and Proietti signed up. We spent the first month in inhumane conditions. Playing eight games in twenty-nine days. I’ve heard a lot. Like those who said that we made a strong team because we enjoyed the transfer market. But no one says that we have signed fourteen free agents. Like Tavernelli, among the strongest in the entire panorama. Like Venturi, Calapai and many others. They were tasty, but no one had thought to take them. I have to congratulate everyone, that’s why I’m here. First of all to the president and his family: this is a bit of his revenge. In his daily life I see how much he cares about Casertana and how much it has suffered. I have to thank those who work behind the scenes; I have to thank the coach and his staff. Both in the second part of last season and this year, he did something extraordinary.
We scored 123 points in two years, with the coach we achieved 20 consecutive useful results between the two championships. The team offered great quality football. This is a really strong team. Both from a technical and moral point of view. What I carry with me with great pride is having put Casertana back inside homes, in families, in bars, on the street, in the stadium. Because this is a sport made up of people, passion, people. For us, coming to the ‘Pinto’ and seeing all this enthusiasm can only be an added value. Having said that we must take a deep breath and bring out everything we have inside. We’re playing for B. It’s right to play our cards and increase those percentages which are low today because only one out of 28 teams will win. We have to try until the end so as not to have regrets. We’re in and it’s right to try. We have players who have already won a lot. We try. We never wanted to talk about it during the year so as not to burden the whole environment with excessive responsibilities. The important thing is to be aware that this team has done a lot and will do everything. This city and this fan base have a team that can proudly represent them for the whole of Italy.”
