On the eve of the challenge against Messina, coach Toscano answered journalists' questions in the press room: “Tomorrow's match is a derby, it is not a match like the others but a game in itself where values and rankings are reset. For us, it is important for many reasons: it is a derby and we want to give it to the fans, the city, the club, ourselves, and ensure continuity of performance and results. Especially in the derby and in these last matches, we must ensure that the final goal is built from the point of view of knowledge, identity, and spirit: when the time comes when the result will be decisive and the matches are 'single-elimination', you must be used to playing under pressure. Being able to overturn games is a positive aspect, you can't always unlock it, and matches last 95 minutes, you must not lose balance and composure if you fall behind or if opponents create dangers. Now that we have more solutions and are recovering more players, we have many arrows to exploit throughout the entire game. If you want to overturn the standings, these matches are fundamental. The return of director Faggiano? For us, it is a pleasure to have him back and see him again, he is making progress in his full recovery and we are pleased, the most important thing is that he is well and can be with us as much as he can. We recover Stoppa from suspension, Anastasio, Dalmonte, Di Tacchio, and Sturaro have trained with us and will therefore be available, Bethers, Celli, Guglielmotti, and Inglese are unavailable. Attitude and concentration matter, it is important for the offensive players to occupy spaces and make a difference, we need to play as a team to exploit offensive qualities, I have hammered the boys on attitude and the right approach. Messina is a lively team, I saw it also in Cava, and it is unpredictable especially in the forward department, they have Luciani in confidence and coming off a hat-trick, we must limit their qualities and enhance our moment of confidence. This step must give you something to bring to the right moment where important victories are needed. The absence of our fans? Regardless of everything, it is a shame that these derbies are not experienced with local rivalry and cheerfulness, we will still feel our fans close: after the Latina match something changed, it must have been the attitude and this is what we must continue to do to have the twelfth man."
