BALANCED CHALLENGE, THE EPISODES WILL BE DECISIVES

On the eve of the upcoming match, Mister Mignani presented the Cesena FC - Empoli FC match at a press conference. The match is scheduled for Saturday, January 10, at 7:30 p.m. at Orogel Stadium - Dino Manuzzi and is valid for the 19th day of the 2025/2026 Serie BKT Championship.

"The first game of the year can bring unexpected surprises, but it's also true that Empoli and we have performed well in the last part of the year, so I believe we will continue on that path. I think it will be a balanced game between two teams with quite distinct characteristics and identities, despite having changed coaches. As always in this league, tomorrow's game will be very evenly matched, and individual moments will be decisive. We've had a bit of an unusual week because of the snow, so we've had to adapt to the weather conditions and the facilities we could use, but today we'll do our final training session, and I think the team will be ready for tomorrow's game."

"The keys to the game could be balance, the ability to withstand the impact of the opposing attackers, finding moments to hurt them, and being patient. We'll need to be able to read the different moments of the game, because you can't always control it. That's what happens in almost every game, and in my opinion, the team often shows positive signs in reading the game. Then again, I repeat, it's the first game of the year. There was a slightly longer break, the guys all had the chance to relax a bit more, so tomorrow we need to see how they are in general, but I've seen them looking good since the first day they came back."
