“We will have to do everything to win it”

On the eve of the match against Brindisi, Mister Lucarelli answered the journalists' questions in the press room: "In Crotone we conceded three goals on bloody and elementary turnovers, helping a team that is more of a team than us at the moment. On paper we are no different but the pitch is not paper but grass. I'm not satisfied with the results obtained so far but it's still an average of 70 points, there have been some improvements. For us now it's as if it were July 1st, with one difference: we have league matches instead of friendlies, the moment is delicate, we insert players and try to find the right situation. I'm not worried, I'm confident and I continue to give the boys confidence as long as I can, even if we have to raise the average. The seven new signings bring enthusiasm and we are counting on them to build something that will have to arrive in a pre-established time. Peralta can play multiple roles, he is in a pair of players per role in which whoever is better and gives more guarantees plays, we will choose based on this and also based on the match. We are trying to equip the team with more arrows. We have identified profiles that can be part of the technical-tactical project next year too, regardless of the category. I am not in favor of revolutions but you cannot be absolutist, I have given everyone the opportunity but I need answers on the ground, and the answers have arrived intermittently. In some matches we will play three-man, in others with a four-man defence: I have the players to do both. We have to think about ourselves but not just look at us, ours is an important place but being Catania doesn't necessarily make you win matches. We are in Serie C and we find all the difficulties of Serie C: we must start from a base of correct humility, the others play with us with blood in their eyes and the exes in particular. The important names won't arrive because we don't look for them, sometimes players approach Catania to go and raise money elsewhere. Ladinetti? Tomorrow he will be called up, for me in C it is a luxury, we will then see what happens on the market. We will play with a team that needs and is hungry, tomorrow's match will not be very different from those against Virtus Francavilla and Sorrento; finding spaces could become complicated if the match doesn't open up and a bit of anxiety could set in, but if you score you can exploit the spaces. We will have to do everything to win it, we don't know if they will change the formation; they have had departures and arrivals, we will have to make a virtue of necessity. I'm happy that the new players wanted Catania and trusted us. The fluctuating results have meant that a condition of necessity has been created to have elements of the same level in all roles: everyone will play it fairly."
