Domenico Toscanocoach of Casertana, spoke in the press conference after the 3-1 victory at Casertana:
“I think Catania deservedly won, Casertana created few dangerous actions. We had a couple of clear situations in the first half. The goal perhaps woke us up a little from the pace we had assumed, a pace that we increased in the second half, increasing the intensity and putting in a lot of quality with the substitutions, obtaining an important victory on a difficult pitch and with a lot of effort. On a physical level, in the second half the team upped the game, creating many situations to score goals. Coming to Caserta and creating 6-7 scoring opportunities is not easy, I think the final 3-1 gives legitimacy to the victory.”
“In the second half I replaced Guglielmotti and Montalto because in such a balanced and intense match, risking being left with ten men would have been suicide. Both had done well, whoever entered did equally well. The result is favorable, so the changes are spot on (he smiles, ed.). Montalto caught by the public? There may be, but you must not fall into the trap or lose your balance in these cases, you know that you might get some boos, even if Adriano had a great championship last year at Casertana. He is an extraordinary boy who I am happy to have in Catania. On the second goal Casertana with ten men? In the first half it also happened to us with Guglielmotti, they are match situations, then the referee decides when to let the player return to the pitch. Football is also made up of moments and episodes that, if you truly believe in them, you can bring to your side.”
“We have to grow, there is still a lot of work to do. At the beginning we lost the attackers, so we looked for different solutions, then the same thing happened in midfield. The forced changes have slowed down the group’s growth a bit but the guys work in an extraordinary way and want to continue improving. This year the group is of a high level, very balanced at the top, with many organized and competitive teams. This is an advantage because it means that no one runs away or kills the championship. The results prove it, there are no races with a predictable outcome. Then continuity, mental resistance, staying on track, always insisting can lead you to maintain the top areas of the rankings. If there is a team that could surprise like Juve Stabia last year? Today we need to pay particular attention to Picerno who hasn’t lost yet, he has 16 points in the standings, a very specific idea of the game, then it’s up to the others to keep up.” His words reported by tuttocalciocatania.com.
