THE STATEMENTS
The outside Aristide Mouaha: «We reacted vehemently to the recent defeat against Tortona, giving good signals straight away, starting from training on Tuesday morning. Despite the emergency, we maintained a high level of intensity and concentration, with the aim of preparing as best as possible for Sunday’s match against Reggio Emilia, a very athletic and aggressive team, which makes the counterattack its main weapon, in addition to a defense hard and intense which allows you to run and play in transition. Compared to the first leg, we have grown a lot in terms of playing intensity, so much so that, excluding the misstep made last week, in the previous three consecutive victories we showed a different approach to the matches and a new way of playing, which will ultimately help us make a difference. We should be solid from the first to the last minute, maintaining a very high level of concentration and intensity throughout the match, which will certainly be very physical, so mental solidity will also be needed. It will be important to play this match within friendly walls, because we are indebted to our fans, we have a great desire for redemption from the last match against Tortona and there is no better way than to do it in front of our fans».
