Venice in the playoff final, Candela’s joy: “There were few calculations to do, we pushed”

Antonio Candela he commented in the press conference on Venezia’s victory against Palermo, which allows the lagoon players to access the playoff final. These are his words: “It was a collective, team performance, we pushed right from the start because beyond the one-goal lead in the first leg today there were few calculations to do. I think we gave an excellent performance”, Tuttoveneziasport.it reports.

You didn’t just manage.
“We are a very young team who must always push, when we slow down for a moment we can get distracted. We must be better at managing possession without losing it when we have possession, but we deservedly went ahead by two goals.”

You had to push with an offensive player like Di Mariano in front of you.
“Di Mariano is certainly more offensive and keeping him behind his defense could have been an advantage for us. I think it worked in part.”

So what sensations does Penzo give?
“Very strong emotion, the public gives us energy, a strong bond was created right from the start and we are happy to have enjoyed it. We can’t wait to return here on Sunday”.

Cremonese or Catanzaro?
“They are two different teams but in a final it’s the same. We’ll see tomorrow’s match, we’ll face whoever deserves it more.”

Who do you dedicate the goal to?
“I dedicate it to the fans who came here today and to my family who has always followed me.”

After La Spezia you didn’t suffer the backlash:
“They were not easy days after La Spezia, we saw Serie A slipping into our hands, but after a few days we told ourselves to start again because we still have the possibility of achieving a dream and we have the possibility of finishing third, so we have erased the memory.”
