"Team still growing"

After the draw with Crotone, coach Toscano answered journalists' questions in the press room: “I am happy with the performance, we faced a team that has always created problems and scored goals against opponents. In our best moment, when we played twenty minutes of great intensity and bursts, also of quality, their goalkeeper made two miracles; then there is a penalty for a handball that from behind is really blatant and that the referee did not grant, it also happened in Messina on Raimo's shot. I saw the referee put the whistle in his mouth, then he didn't award the penalty: we hope to be luckier later on, with the referee's decisions. From a tactical point of view, the match was played perfectly, we could have exploited two or three situations better in the second half with Stoppa where we were not lucky in control and choice, but from a performance point of view, I saw the team still growing. We are used to working in emergencies of department or team, and this has strengthened us, even today despite the absences of Inglese, Montalto, and Dalmonte, important players, the team created and played a high-level match against a high-level opponent, and this should give you more awareness because when we are all together, our level will grow even more. Compared to the last home games, the team has grown. Except for the match with Cerignola, where we were down to ten after 20 minutes, this team has always been growing, recovering the players we needed, raising the level of training and competition: this makes you grow. Dalmonte? A strong contracture, now we can afford not to risk in these situations. Attitude, approach, concentration, and intensity: the team did everything to win the match, then you can always analyze what you could have done better to bring it home. I have to congratulate the guys and the crowd who came back to support us, maybe it also depended on us and the performances offered in Latina, in Messina, and today, we gave it our all. For us, our audience is an important man on the field, and having found them again makes us even more confident. The team can still grow, it has room for improvement, but this attitude and this application and availability must continue.”
