“The situation needs to be evaluated a bit. We’ll have to wait for training. Leverbe will undergo surgery on Monday, Veloso certainly won’t be back and there are two other players to evaluate. This is the third game of the week and we had a bit of difficulty. Fortunately we have a long squad and it doesn’t worry me.” The Pisa coach Alberto Aquilani he spoke like this in the press conference, taking stock of the infirmary in view of the match against SudTirol tomorrow, then looking at the play-off dream: “We must try to win these two matches, if we think about doing ours first, then we will understand what will happen. – the coach continues as reported Sestaportanews.it – The focus must be on tomorrow’s race. It will be a match to be interpreted correctly, to ensure that there are no regrets.”
There is then room for the future of the coach, still at the center of the transfer market, which however Aquilani glosses over: “I’ll answer as I answered now. Today this type of discussion doesn’t affect me and doesn’t interest me, there are still two very important matches left. They leave me with concentration and thoughts on my current work.”
A thought also for Masucci who will play his last match at the Arena Garibaldi tomorrow, closing a seven-year experience: “I still don’t know what has been decided, but it could be because I believe he has had a wonderful journey. More needs to be said than a few words towards this man who trained professionally every day. When I arrived I wanted to understand why he was considered everyone’s idol and I understood it because he was always the first to arrive and the last to leave, because he has important values and I can only thank him for what he has given – continues Aquilani – I certainly could have made him play more, but I always made choices for the good of the team. I would have liked to meet him a few years younger, like I have often said, but young people should take him as an example because with this attitude he could score goals in 10 years.”
Then there is room for the opponent of the moment: “It’s not the team we faced in the first leg, it has different concepts and I expect a difficult match. They have less mental stress because they had to save themselves and they will arrive here with a clear mind. We must be aware of wanting win, the focus will have to be on performance. We will have many more opportunities to win.”
