Porrini: “Important victory against a strong team” Stefanetto: “Not careful”

RIVAROLO CANAVESE

At the end of the big match of group B of the Promotion championship, which ended with the victory of leaders Ivrea 3-1 over Rivarolese, the two coaches comment.

Ivrea coach Andrea Porrini is very happy with the team’s performance: «In my opinion we won in a more than deserved way – he explains -. We knew we would meet a team that was having a great time with six straight wins. The guys were as good as I asked them to be, careful in difficult times. The more experienced players have helped the younger ones in these moments. In the first half after a start where we suffered the Rivarolese and we had to be able to take the measures for the synthetic base of the field, we managed to control the match and we closed the first half ahead ». «In the second half – concludes Porrini – we suffered the reaction of Rivarolese and there were moments where we took a risk, but on the counterattack with our forwards who remained wide we always put them in difficulty. An important victory against a strong team. A positive day where we increased the advantage over our direct opponents ».

Home coach Gianmarco Stefanetto admits that his team conceded the entire first half to Ivrea “where we weren’t as good and careful as we had been in other games”. «We faced the recovery with a completely different determination – he comments – but we were not able to take advantage of the opportunities we had. A save on the line on Reano’s shot and then the melee in the area with a series of retakes. In any case, I am happy with the performance of my team which fought to the end against a very strong team ». «Unfortunately, when you don’t score goals – concludes Stefanetto – it becomes difficult to recover matches. Ivrea’s third goal came in the final when we were all stretched out in search of a draw and it was just a short distance from the end of the match ». –
