Carlo Mammarellasporting director of Ternana, spoke to the microphones of Radio Galileo. These are his words collected by Ternananews.it: “We know what our path is and what we want to do. It’s important to stay in the group up front, from awareness, it allows us to team up during the week with the right spirit. In January we want to get to an important position to understand if it will then be necessary to intervene in some way”
Good performances also from those who play less. Ternana proves to be a great group: “I’m not surprised because they are guys I know. It’s normal that when you change so much there’s the risk of not finding the right affinities with your teammate. This wasn’t noticeable against Ascoli, everyone gave a great contribution, it couldn’t have been a better evening regardless of the result. The boys have created a real soul, there is the spirit to achieve great results. You can get excellent players, but if there isn’t this spirit you can hardly achieve anything. It’s a double satisfaction”
D’Alessandro reassured you in all respects: “The president was linear, he used simple words. When he arrived there was a particular situation, making a firm point from an economic point of view was important, also to give security to the players, they live with football, to give this serenity allows you to think only about the field”.
A Ternana that is surprising, where can this team go? “I give great credit to the coach and his staff, also to those who work around the team. I know what Abate’s request was, the attention he puts into detail, the difficulties the players found in expressing his football. They are the protagonists. We have expert players who have played a certain type of football and have challenged themselves to try something different. The championship is difficult, we want to stay close to the group up front. We are not worried about our opponents but about ourselves ourselves, but it is a positive concern because we have ample room for improvement, trust also arises from these aspects”
Next opponent Torres: “He’s a difficult opponent, on a somewhat disconnected pitch, not suitable for those who do a lot of dribbling. Every match has its own story, we can only tell it after having played it. It’s right to think match by match without going any further, between a couple of months we’ll draw the line and see where we can get”
Is there a bit of a short blanket in midfield? “We had the defections of Damiani, Aloi returns with us this week. We can say that he is a signing because he got hurt at the end of the transfer window, finding him again is important to allow some guys to catch their breath. We didn’t consider intervening on free agents. Taking a boy who has to get to the right physical condition, then he has to fit into the dynamics of the coach, we would have arrived in December and this would have compromised the January transfer window.”
