Alcione Milano, Cusatis: “First focus on salvation, then we’ll see where we are”

Second consecutive victory for Alcione Milano, which beats Pro Patria with a solid 2-0, consolidating its position in the standings and moving away from the playout zone. At the end of the match the technician John Cusatis analyzed his team’s performance, underlining their strengths and room for improvement: “We played an excellent first half, focusing on depth to put our opponents in difficulty, who suffer from these situations. We didn’t want to take risks against a team that is good at countering exits from below. In the second half, however, we conceded too much possession, but we were effective in defending and limiting their opportunities.”

Memories of Pro Patria: “It was an important stage in my growth, I have good memories of the people and the club. Today it was essential for us to win, to extend our reach into the playout zone. We are finding a balance: we don’t draw much, but we manage to win often.”

On the standings and objectives: “We must think first of all about salvation. Once achieved, we will see where we are and what the next objectives will be. The important thing is to maintain balance and humility, continuing to grow game after game.”

Defensive solidity as the key to success: “Our secret is collective commitment: everyone runs and works for the team. When we make mistakes, we don’t waste time complaining, we regroup immediately. We know we can lose against anyone, but they have to earn it” , he concluded.
