“We need to be optimistic, united and help each other”

Salvatore Monaco analyzes Catania's performance against Potenza in this way: “We had four-five clear chances, given how the match went, all that was missing was the goal. The defensive solidity is there, then there's the fact that sometimes you concede something to the opponent. We need to be optimistic, united and help each other. We know that it is a delicate moment and even if we have reached the Cup final, there is the championship in which we have to take as many points as possible. We looked into each other's eyes and we understood that it was time to give something more, the coach revealed some anecdotes to us and we understood what it means to wear this shirt. From my point of view, all that was missing was the victory. The boos? If you come to play in Catania and you are afraid of boos you have to stay at home, in football they get booed; the fan is free to do what he wants, I think of the roar that gives me adrenaline. Positive words count, the more enthusiasm we put in, the better our teammates feel. I will try to give moral support to those who are a little down. The coach gave us concepts, ball rotation, pockets and verticalisations: we created opportunities but we need time, when we can all be compact and with the right condition we will be able to get our satisfaction."
