Marco Capuanocaptain of Ternana, spoke at the press conference on the eve of the derby against Perugia, sharing his vision of the match and the team’s path. “We have to think game by game,” Capuano said, highlighting the importance of staying focused. “We will play on a difficult pitch and there is that different feeling that you get in derbies. We have to transform it into positive energy. We will find difficulties, and we will have to be good at uniting, reacting together.”
The captain then spoke about the key moments of their journey and the lessons learned: “The victories have given us confidence and self-esteem. Now, after a lot of work, we have understood the coach and what he is asking for. It is not a given that we stay where we are in the standings. There are teams that have changed little or nothing compared to us, who instead are still under construction. The line is thin between being here and risking slipping into less favorable ranking areas, such as Ascoli and Perugia. We must maintain this balance.”
Capuano finally reflected on the problems that the team was able to overcome. “We have faced and overcome difficult moments, such as the issue of salaries and penalisation,” he said. “We know that we won’t always be able to dominate matches, but we have shown that we can win even in the last twenty minutes, like against Spal, or at the end, like in Sestri Levante. This team never gives up and it will be like this in the derby too”, he reports Ternananews.net
