WELL DONE TO THE GUYS FOR COMING PREPARED

At the end of the match against Mantova, Mister Michele Mignani reached the press room of Orogel Stadium—Dino Manuzzi to comment with the journalists present on the home victory against the Biancorosso.

"The match was channeled well, and we were good to score the first goal, stealing the ball from the opponents; in my opinion, in the first half, we scored fewer goals than we deserved. It was a difficult game because they had a lot of dribbling, and it is quality dribbling, never an end in itself, and they also had some chances on our wrong exits. However, the boys did well because we prepared the game in a certain way, and they managed to bring to the field what we had done in these three days. The will to win came out, especially in the first half, while the second half was different, with more waiting, and especially in the last part, we conceded little to Mantova."

"Antonucci has grown a lot, he is a player we waited for and wanted, right now he is doing well, he is a guy who can cover more areas in the field, he has quality and strength in his legs. In these last two games, he has given us a big hand, and we expect a lot from him, but we have many who can make a big contribution. I expect a lot from Tavsan because he still has to get fired up, and I also expect a lot from Van Hooijdonk even if he always enters in difficult moments of the game: they have to understand that in this Cesena there are no firsts, second or third lines, but they are all important. The championship is long and maybe those who play less now will play many games in January, this is the spirit that this team must have. Let's enjoy this week, which has been done well. Now let's recover our energy and go play a great game in Pisa."

"Especially in Serie B, but also in other leagues, loose balls are decisive, and we must be aware of that. Even today, we took goals on corners; it's a good thing we managed to get one and a half ourselves. We have people who kick them well and we have structure to go and jump, we were often dangerous and today this goal and a half also came."

"The guys are all good and have this cleanliness in control even under pressure. In today's soccer, when they come man on man, you are forced to get the ball up, and the forward receiving it from behind has to be able to handle it and clean it up to wait for the tow. Today, the boys did it well, while in the second half, we did it less well because your head tells you other things, and the ball can be hotter: we still have to grow in this because we have to maintain quality and physicality in both halves."
