"We must continue to work and grow"

Francesco Di Tacchio comments on the match with Avellino: “There is room for improvement because we conceded two very avoidable goals and we need to be more clinical, especially in the final third, but the performance remains and we have to start again because we know that in the playoffs, thanks also to the support of the public, we can be the loose cannon. My condition? Physically I feel good, the more I work, the better I feel. This year has been a bit peculiar in terms of injuries because just when I had returned, I had to stop due to rib fractures, but we are monitored, thanks also to the work of the athletic trainers, so we need to keep working. Today we started well, we came close to scoring the second goal several times, and then they did well to come back and take the lead; these experienced teams know how to close down and defend well, we tried by bringing more men forward but there was the risk of becoming unbalanced and conceding a third goal: we did what we could and they did well. The coach prepared it this way, with them closing in with the full-backs freeing up our fifth and therefore our changes in play, the approach changes according to the match. We need to keep working and growing: as I have always said, this team has great values and potential, having recovered everyone is an important factor, we are heading into these playoffs with momentum and it has also been crucial to have regained the support of our public, it must become a difficult stadium for everyone. Avellino is not first by chance, today they showed great maturity: they played after the Cerignola match, went behind and came back, this means they have great mental solidity and are a strong candidate to win this championship.”
