Di Carlo: “My desire was to come to Ascoli. I know the problems, they are part of the game”

After the official announcement arrived yesterday, the press conference to present the project was held today new coach of Ascoli, Domenico Di Carloready to make his debut on the Juventus bench on Sunday afternoon, when he faces Pescara. As you read above picenotime.ithere are his first words as a new coach: “It’s a challenge, there’s a lot to do but also a lot of quality. Ascoli is an important place with extraordinary fans, the players must have their confidence restored, as well as enthusiasm and an identity of game. Same thing goes for the whole environment. Ascoli is a strong team, we need to start scoring points at homeeven against a good team like Pescara. My teams must have courage, they must not do a simple homework: in these two days you can’t change much but you need a reaction from a mental point of view”.

He then continues with a note on the formation: “We did the first training session this morning, we need to give ourselves a mentality. We can do the 4-3-1-2, with Marsura who can play the left midfielder, as well as the 4- 4-2. Now we don’t need to do too much damage. I know many Ascoli players and I have always wanted Tremolada, just like the aforementioned Marsura is a striker of extraordinary football intelligence. Then we have Varone, Gagliolo, Quaranta. There are individuals, the important thing now is to be a team, then they all become strong. Did I tell them that they no longer have to think about what happened until yesterday, but only set goals while being free in the head. In any case, for the formation, I will see the players in these two days and then I will decide.” Note therefore also to free transfer market: “I asked the club to wait a bitI want to coach these players and also the young people. I want to evaluate them all and understand how they can be useful to the cause. Varone trained alone after the ankle problem, we will do an evaluation with him. You have to have important players and not lose them.”

Going to the match, where he will meet Mr. Silvio Baldini again after 17 years since Parma-Catania in Serie A where, on the sidelines of a heated discussion on the pitch, Baldini kicked his colleague in the butt: “Many years have passed and we have clarified compared to what happened at “Tardini” in Parma, he is a cutting-edge coach and it is always nice to challenge him, we hope to trip him up.”

In conclusion, a general note: “My desire was to come to Ascoli, I know the problems and they are part of the game. I thank the owner for his availability and I am very happy, I begin this adventure with great enthusiasm. Group B is very balanced , I know him well, all the teams are organised: for me Ternana is the strongest team ever. Torres is another excellent team and plays aggressively. But we think from match to match.”
