Guest of the studios of Rai Umbria, Giovanni Giuntimidfielder of Perugia released some statements after the victory of Ascoli: “It was a very important victory against a team that had a great desire for revenge and was, like us, in a difficult period. We took home the three points through a great performance. We knew that we would have to suffer and we also knew that, when we closed ranks, these were the moments in which we could hurt him the most and so it was because in the end we had 2/3 colossal opportunities that we didn’t take advantage of. But the three points counted and the key element was the group.”
The red and white midfielder then spoke about Formisano: “There is a strong bond with the coach because he trained me for four years. He decided to take me to the Primavera with him when I had to play for the Under 17s.” This is Giunti’s second year in the first team: “My flexibility comes from a path, even in the Primavera I started as a midfielder and then I also worked as a full-back. I certainly feel better in the middle because I’ve been doing it for a long time, but in the future, never say never.”
On the standings and objectives: “The fact of having a large number of injured people certainly penalized us a lot. Obviously we also expected a different start but there is plenty of time to recover and I’m sure we will. Ternana? It’s a strong team, but I’m sure we’ll get to the derby in the best possible way and put in a great performance.”
On the advent of Faroni: “A big change. The new arrivals have a positive attitude towards us players. There is ambition and you can feel it in the environment. We then think about the pitch, about playing and bringing home the results.”
And finally on Milan Futuro: “I believe that in this championship we must pay attention to everyone. Camarda? He’s strong but we have the countermeasures to mark him well with Angella! We absolutely must provide continuity.”
