AWARE OF BEING A STRONG GROUP THAT INVOLVES EVERYONE

At the end of the final training preparations, it was bianconero captain Giuseppe Prestia who appeared in the press room of Orogel Stadium - Dino Manuzzi, to present the Salernitana - Cesena match, scheduled for Tuesday, October 29 at 20:30 at the “Arechi” Stadium in Salerno and valid for the eleventh day of the 2024/2025 Serie BKT Championship.

"For what we have seen on the field so far, I think Cesena has collected something less than it deserved: between the numerous chances created and some games lost in the final, we certainly deserved something more. However, I see a serene, calm, and applied team, which every game tries to do its best to bring home as much as possible."

"How did I find the Serie B again? I left this league four years ago with Alessandria. I believe Serie B has always been and remains an important and challenging league, in which matches are often decided on different episodes. Compared to last season, there is much more physicality and many more quality players in this tournament."

"Matches are made up of many episodes, and the details make the difference in Serie B. The match with Brescia gave us important cues on which the team responded very well, especially on set pieces, on which we had conceded several goals. In this regard, I think the change from zone marking to man marking gave us more responsibility."

"Certainly against Brescia, in addition to defensive solidity, we found a different nastiness. The attention to detail with which we faced Brescia has to be the basis of this sport because, in soccer, you struggle with everyone if you don't have that intensity and nastiness at all times. Certainly, it is an important base we can and must take to Salerno, too."

"When you come from two consecutive defeats, as was the case for us before Saturday, you always try to put something more into it; therefore, in my opinion, we have to try to respond blow by blow to Salernitana, which I think will field a great aggressiveness. Beyond the individual opponents, because in any case in Serie B, all teams have strong individualities in the group, we have to hold up blow by blow and go to Salerno to play our game with humility and the same attitude we had with Brescia. Our qualities are many, so we go there knowing we are a strong group that can play with everyone."
