Speaking to the club’s official channels, the left back of Carrarese Manuel Cicconi commented on the friendly match that ended 0-0 against Virtus Entella: “This team and this group always provide answers and for the preparation phase we are in, the feedback is excellent. We have been pushing hard for a couple of weeks now to be at our best when it counts. This is the first friendly with specific weight against a well-equipped team that we know well, having played against them last year in the championship. What matters is getting minutes in our legs and getting back to playing as we have shown we know how”.
On the integration of the new arrivals: “They are integrating well, they train regularly keeping up with the pace and we who are “older” are at their disposal. In general, these are players who have presented themselves in the best way and are proving to be technically of an excellent level, adding great commitment and a predisposition to take advice”.
On Saturday’s match against Catania: “What should you expect? The usual Carrarese, who will fight for every ball. Catania is a Serie C team only on paper because it expresses superior levels without considering the great prestige of the square. It will be a test that can begin to tell us something in view of the start of the championship. Obviously, we will give our all to advance to the Italian Cup and start the season in the best possible way”, he concluded.
