Race eve for the SPAL of mister Andrea Dossena who, after the heavy knockout against Campobasso, is back from retirement. On the club’s official channels, this is the coach’s thought when the match against Pescara approaches: “After the match in Campobasso there was a discussion with the club and we all accepted the choice to withdraw. In the following two days I saw great sense of responsibility on the part of the players, I had individual interviews and I found that the boys are aware and want to get out of this situation. After 48 hours I was afraid of weighing them down too much, of sending them into burnout… the team has the desire to be together and that’s what matters. The club indulged me: it was the kids who were surprised first because they didn’t expect the “breaking of ranks”. We arrived bringing a breath of fresh air, we thought we would start and do well, then something got stuck, but I see that the boys always try and have never thrown in the towel.”
Going into the match against the Abruzzo team: “We have to try to keep our heads clear and focused, knowing that a strong team will arrive and it could happen that we go behind in the score, but the games are long and there will be almost 100 minutes to play. Pescara are a young team that makes intensity and boldness its best weapons. From a tactical point of view, I have some changes in mind, especially for the goals conceded, which must make us reflect.”
And he then concludes: “The club is close to us: I have a constant relationship with Casella and President Tacopina. It is clear that we coaches We depend on the results, but right now I’m calm. Then, if something changes, I can only thank the President for giving me the opportunity to train in this place.”
