THE TEAM WORKED WELL, I EXPECT A GOOD GAME

On the eve of the Cesena - Reggiana match, a pre-match press conference was held by Mister Michele Mignani, who presented the Cavalluccio's 14th match, scheduled for Saturday, November 23 at 5:15 p.m. at Orogel Stadium - Dino Manuzzi. 

"The break is needed and not needed, but it is there, so it is accepted. In my opinion, the team these days has worked correctly: we tried to dose workloads, fine-tuning what we needed, and now we have to be ready for tomorrow."

"I have known Coach Viali for many, many years. We are more or less the same age, and we have often played against each other as opponents, but even when we have met, there has always been great esteem and respect. He is a person I admire and appreciate, with whom I happened to feel, and he is an excellent coach for me, which is why when I play against him, it has always been a pleasure to shake his hand. It will definitely be a good match; we have our ideas. However, we have been on a fairly similar path in some respects. I am glad that he also has the chance to prove himself because, as I said before, in my opinion, he is an excellent coach."

"The guys who returned from the national teams are all doing well. The last ones arrived yesterday and did all the training with the team, as they did again this morning. We have the options right now, but the boys always put you in difficult conditions. This is a positive factor because it means they are on the ball and doing well. For me, this is an added value. I am referring both to the competition within the team and to the possibility for a coach to have important alternatives from the beginning and in the game in progress."

"Reggiana is an organized team that offers soccer and does not sit back and watch others play. It is a team with quality in the wards and dangerous offensive players and midfielders capable of inserting themselves. It probably lacks a few players at the back, but it has always shown solidity and matches against Reggiana are never close, so I expect a balanced game. Then, the episodes are the ones that sometimes change the dynamics of the matches: we have to think about ourselves and know the opponent's difficulty but also know that in the last period, we had more balance. We have to keep it always on the court, beating hard on the things that have been good for us in the last few games and always being very careful and having great respect for the opponent."

“Balance has to be fundamental for us because that's what maybe we didn't have in the first part of the championship, and then we achieved it, but we also have to believe in our proposals, believe in looking for the opponent, and have that enthusiasm that allows us to accompany the action with so many players, because then that's what, when we play at home, can become an added value for us as well.”
