Matteo AndreolettiPadova coach, spoke at a press conference on the eve of the match against Atalanta U23, recovery of the 15th round of Serie C:
“Trap match? More of a joker. We only think about ourselves. We are ahead and the opponent is strong. They play the best football in the group, they are very dangerous. It will be a very difficult challenge, against a high-level rival. There is regret for the draw against Triestina, we immediately have the opportunity to recover what we lost, it will be very complicated. Let’s make the most of the time we have.
Their postponement? Meeting her fresh makes the challenge even more stimulating. We are top of the class, now everyone faces us with something more. Zero alibis and then we go to play an important match. We need a great performance, otherwise you won’t score points with teams like that. They are a team that attacks with many men, to the detriment of balance. They can be immature and light defensively and we must exploit this. We leverage our experience.
Special attention for Vlahovic? You know how much I pay attention to rivals, at the same time others have to worry about us too. I have yet to see the team in depth. We need continuity of attitude and enthusiasm.
Villa? Just one major bruise. I hope to have it available. Varas isn’t there.
Post-Triestine waste? I’m not worried. Troubled you can reason. I would have liked the whole week for this race, one day is not enough, but I don’t want alibis. Let’s make a virtue of necessity.
The double center forward? It’s a hypothesis on the table. Let’s see how much autonomy Spagnoli has at his disposal. It may be a solution worth considering. We are working well, it was a high level performance against Triestina. I would be worried if the opposite happened. I consider the two mini stops episodic. I’m not talking about referees. Looking for alibis destabilizes us today. We must be stronger than everything and everyone. There are no favorable situations at the moment, but we continue to work. You need to be stronger than bad luck. I’m used to taking responsibility when things don’t go right. Tomorrow will be a very tricky match, it certainly won’t be the referee who will make the difference. Having fans at home would be spectacular. Let’s hope there’s a bit of foresight and common sense from everyone
