On the eve of the match against Modena, the Carrarese coach Antonio Calabro spoke at the press conference: “We approached the weekly work differently compared to last week, considering the fatigue due to the three races in a few days, in fact I considered it appropriate to stabilize the physical condition of my boys, avoiding any hypothetical risk linked to possible overloads of work In these last close matches I have been able to count on many of my players, after all, the squad I have at my disposal allows me to have a wide choice among all the players available without ever sacrificing quality, and this offers us the opportunity. of being able to sip energy even in intense weeks, like the one just passed, I can only note, however, that as the weeks go by, the team is adapting to the diversity and particularity of the loads of the category, with efforts that are very different. compared to those of last year. This category imposes standards of a certain type, at the moment however, I can only be satisfied with the application used by my players in each training session.”
Modena represents a difficult obstacle in our path, they have a squad full of quality, which is made up of a notable mix of talented youngsters and more experienced players in the category, some with several appearances in Serie A. We will find an important opponent on our side road, which will bring to the pitch a strong sense of revenge given the difficult period it is going through and which will be eager to demonstrate, as can be seen in the numbers, that it is not a low-ranking team in front of a warm audience. Their change on the bench can certainly represent a significant aspect also with respect to our preparation, even tactical, in view of this match.
Their new coach, Mandelli, has shown great quality as a coach on the bench of the yellow and blue Primavera, with whom he used to propose a 4-3-3 to see if it will be proposed again; therefore, we will have to be skilled in occupying spaces in the offensive phase and orderly in the defensive phase, aware and ready for any possible solution they could propose on the pitch. The now former coach Bisoli has accustomed this team to playing with both a three-man defense and a four-man defence, both with three forwards and with a thicker midfield supporting a single striker.”
