GREAT REACTION AND SPIRIT OF SACRIFICE FROM THE BOYS

At the end of the match against Mantova 1911, Mister Michele Mignani went to the press room at Orogel Stadium - Dino Manuzzi to comment on the victory against the Virgiliani.

"We indeed allowed them some possession in the early minutes, but it was just the beginning of the match, and we knew they were good at that. We went behind due to a handball on a harmless corner kick, but then we pulled ourselves together, reacted, hit the post, and had a goal disallowed by what I think was just a few centimeters. We conceded the second goal from a free kick and found ourselves two goals down, probably without even realizing it. Still, as I said before, this is a team with certain characteristics, which must never lose its rationality and sense of the game, and must never lose its qualities. Through their qualities, by raising the tempo and thanks to this wonderful stadium, which often envelops you and pushes you on, the lads achieved a minor miracle tonight.“

”It was a game where we went two goals down, undeservedly so in my opinion, from two set pieces, then we started to play and managed to score three. Obviously, we would all prefer to start the other way around. Still, it's nice to see a reaction like this. A group of players with a spirit of sacrifice, a desire to win duels, and a drive to go beyond their limits and turn a very difficult, complicated game around. This means that the guys believe so much in what they are doing that, as I have said many times, we hope it is not a fluke, but the result of something we are building."
