"We need to work on continuity"

On the eve of the challenge against Juventus Next Generation, coach Toscano answered journalists' questions in the press room, analyzing Catania's current situation: "In Benevento, I saw for 70 minutes the team that I like, it was one of the best performances, with courage, aggressiveness, rhythm, and personality on a difficult field against the leaders; then the disappointment for the result overshadows the great performance we had. We lack consistency between one match and another and during the match, we absolutely and constantly need to work on it because it's a shame not to bring home a victory that could have changed the course of the championship, consistency is what this team has lacked from the first day until now. The club is ambitious, I don't know when but sooner or later it will bring Catania to Serie B. In six months we have faced dynamics and situations of all kinds every week, the club is aware that certain situations need to be resolved and improved, it is important to reduce the time to change certain dynamics. Message to the team? Absolutely yes, as I have sent some positive ones when those who came on did well and determined the result, so in Benevento, those who came on could have done much more. The result was determined by individual errors and it is evident. In today's football, even at other levels, injuries are commonplace: our misfortune was that many of these were concentrated in a single department. The team is physically well and has demonstrated it. Market? The club knows what needs to be changed and improved. The path and philosophy of Juventus Next Gen say that in the first half of the season it is one team and in the return another, it is normal because the 2005 and 2006 players need time to grow. Juve also had an important second half of the season last year, now they come from a series of matches in which they have collected many points: it is a technical and physical team, it may lack a bit of experience but if you put your experience and make the "Massimino" feel the weight. What do I look for in a player? A lot of hunger, a lot of sacrifice, a lot of availability towards the team, basic characteristics. It's too simplistic to say "win", you win by building day by day: it's hard to be highly competitive after a year of total revolution, especially for a young club that has been established for two and a half years, we need to shorten the construction time, the more we shorten it, the higher the chances of bringing Catania to Serie B."
