On the eve of the match against Picerno, coach Toscano answered the journalists' questions in the press room: "I am a coach who studies the opponent a lot together with the staff, who is working incredibly, because details make the difference; knowing the strengths and weaknesses of the opponents is essential for a game strategy, our attitude will then determine what kind of match it will be. We are facing a team that hasn't earned seven points by chance, they have a very clear and readable game idea, they challenge you in interpreting the spaces they occupy, unlike Benevento which could challenge you from an individual point of view. We need to be very focused and attentive, it's time to push, stay focused, and not give up an inch, we have embarked on a path to follow and we must push in that direction. We recovered Jimenez, D'Andrea, Verna, Montalto, and Gega: we have been able, together with the medical staff, to gradually bring them towards the eve of the match taking few risks, it is normal that they are not in top condition but just being in the group, breathing the field air and being available from the start, for one half or for ten minutes is still a positive thing to have managed to bring these four players who complete the squad. The entire squad is needed to provide continuity of results and performances: during the game, from one match to another, considering injuries and suspensions, you have to play all your cards. D'Andrea and Jiménez? The former can cover the three roles forward, the latter has great technical qualities and has not yet realized how high these qualities are, he must grow in consistency, awareness, and determination, but in my opinion, he will make a big contribution to Catania. Di Tacchio? Injuries are part of our sport, we are sorry to have lost him because Ciccio is an extraordinary guy and an example on and off the field, in the way he approaches training. We recovered Verna, it changes little tactically but something changes in terms of the characteristics of the two or three midfielders. I place a lot of emphasis on the mental aspect and we must work every day as we are doing at this moment, we must not be the product of the result because we risk losing balance, if we are the product of constant growth, the result does not condition and balance and solidity are maintained. Quaini? He has different characteristics from Ierardi, when he was called upon he did well, we will have less physicality and gain in construction but the interpretation of the entire team is important, which will allow all the individuals to do well. The most important and pleasant thing, up to now, is the group's predisposition to grow every day in a 360-degree manner, credit must be given to the players for having created with daily commitment an identity, a spirit, a sense of belonging, and a playing philosophy in such a short time. From Potenza to the match with Juventus, we have grown in all aspects, in Biella we maintained intensity, rhythm, and mental resistance, doing better than in the match against Benevento: we must continue to do so and raise the level. English? he came with a lot of desire and motivation, like all of us, he chose Catania as the right context to demonstrate his value and be appreciated, he and the whole team are growing and improving, Roberto is at a footballing level that few have in the entire category, it is up to us to enable him and the other forwards who are growing to express themselves. Beyond game systems and modules, offensive interpretation matters, we structure space occupation and attack based on characteristics, also considering the opponent we have to face, for us game concepts and principles matter more than numbers, the structure is linked to the game strategy. Do you want to know if Inglese will be a starter? Yes - coach Toscano smiles - we will see regarding other choices. Picerno so far has scored seven goals and conceded only one goal: in all matches the maximum level of concentration, attention, and lucidity is needed, you have to understand spaces, moments, and phases of the match, when to accelerate, lower the rhythm, pass the ball. We still have room for improvement in reading the game, the level of concentration and determination will be crucial. We cannot speak of a clash at the top after three matches. If Picerno shows interesting game ideas every year and proposes interesting players, it means that they have a good level of planning. I tell the boys that when we manage to fill the Massimino and there is no ticket left, it means we are appreciated, now we are doing well and we are on the right track. Today the fans are giving us a lot, we are indebted to them but in the course of the 38 matches, we can show affection and give it back; we can already have a lot of confidence because those who come to the stadium show trust in the group, the club, and the boys. We can play our fans with us, based on what we will give on the field".
