Mantua, positive debut for De Maio: “Head held high from the match against a big team”

High level seasonal debut for Sebastien De Maio with the shirt of Mantua. The expert French defender then analyzed his performance and that of the team Davide Possanzini against the Palermo at the press conference. Here’s what was highlighted by MantovaUno:

“I train to play, to always be ready and help the team. That’s what I tried to do. At half-time I spoke to the referee because the opponents were making a lot of fouls, we always suffer a lot and often the directors they let the match go, without giving warnings. We are used to this type of contrasts and play, the team responded well without ever getting angry and we made ourselves respected.

In my opinion, the draw is a positive result, because we know that Palermo has the objective of winning the championship, a very different team from ours and they have spent a lot. We proved that we are there, we dominated them: we were missing the last piece.

We emerge from the double challenge with the big teams with our heads held high, with the awareness that we can do something more. Against Sampdoria we played a great match in a very important stadium, the team went there and imposed its game. Same thing with Palermo today, we missed the goal. We had done it with Sampdoria, but it was canceled even if it was valid.”
