Accademia wants the result “Now it’s only up to us The men are up to it”

pavia

The Accademia Pavese is back on the pitch for the recovery match against the Settimo Milanese. An away match is not without difficulties, despite the fact that the ranking of the rivals may suggest the opposite.

Mr. Gaudio’s team has just returned from Sunday’s engagement with Varese and morale is a bit divided between the satisfaction of having largely held up to the undisputed leaders of the group and the disappointment of having seen a deserved victory vanish in full recovery. after having found themselves ahead of even two goals. The time to recover is very short and the coach will have to deal with various ailments that will make it impossible to draw up a line-up before late morning today.

Yesterday’s finishing did not dispel any doubts. «Actually there was a bitter taste in our mouth for the three points vanished in extremis – explains Gaudio – given that at 94th we were still winning. In any case, we forced a team like Varesina to equal quality players, but I want to reiterate that we too can boast a team with equally important men ». We ask the coach if he is satisfied with the average of his team which, after four wins and a draw, is sailing with play-off scores. The answer is from those who know very well that they cannot (and want to) afford fancy flights, because the strength of this Academy now is precisely that of staying down to earth. «We can also have a play-off average -comments Gaudio- but the fact remains that reality still sees us in the lower areas, just one point from the play-outs. And that’s the only thing that matters at the moment. The only improvement compared to a few turns ago is that now we are the architects of our destiny and we no longer depend on the results of others ». We ask the coach – who studies his opponents in a maniacal way – what he fears most of the Settimo Milanese.

“First of all, when you play against the last in the standings and you have to save yourself, you have everything to lose, because if you don’t get the three points it is still a setback – he replies – and moreover the Seventh is a team that is anything but easy to face. . I fear the lightheartedness of a team that, not having much to lose, could play smoothly and with a mind free from calculations. They then run a lot and also the field is special. It will be a final, like all those that await us later: in the order Verbano, Base 96 Seveso, Rhodense and Ardor Lazzate. Not bad I would say ». –
