“Seeing so many people cheering as the bus passes by and in a packed stadium gives great emotions”. The Spezia midfielder Philip Bandinelli he thus returns to the derby against Carrarese, won by the Ligurians 4-2, in an interview given to The Nation: “We have to give everything without ever giving up to repay our people, who have always been close to us. – continues the footballer speaking of the relationship with the city – I am finding myself very well, the people are respectful and they showed it last year when they cheered us on despite a bad year”.
Then there is the space for the objectives to pursue in this championship: “I was convinced that we could have made an important start to the championship, with the same energy as when I won Serie B (with Empoli in 2020/21, Ed.), but we must not trust and the path is really long and the watchwords must be balance and continuity. Only in March will we know what position we will be in and what we can aim for.. Now let’s try to get to safety as soon as possible.”
Finally, there is room for the away challenge against Sassuolo: “They and Sampdoria will have a top-level championship. We will face a team built to go to Serie A and it will be up to us to cause them difficulty”.
