At the end of the incredible challenge won against Venezia, Aquilotto coach Luca D'Angelo spoke this way to the press microphones: “It was beautiful because the people stood by us even when we went into an undeserved disadvantage and the second half their passion and unconditional support helped us score the goals that allowed us to celebrate this well-deserved salvation.
We didn't expect anything, we just knew we had to make the points to save ourselves, and from the January market onward the team has played an amazing championship, with an incredible pace, and today was the crowning achievement of an incredible comeback.
I don't want to emphasize too much, there have been more important coaches in La Spezia than me, I consider myself a serious man who works, nothing special. I am very happy for the president, because he is a person who suffers so much for the team even though he is far away and he deserves this result. I am happy for the players, because they have struggled so much and deserve better rankings than this, but when years get like this they are dangerous and you have to be as good and united as they are to come out of it. I'm happy for my staff, because we have worked well; for our managers, who have been there for us; and then I'm happy for the people, for the fans, today I finally saw them celebrating as it should be, even if it's a salvation, this shows humility on the part of the fans and it's an important basis of life.
It was a wonderful experience, in my other years in B I was never in dangerous situations, although we tend to forget that last year I took over with Pisa last in the standings on the eighth day and in the end for 1 point we did not make the playoffs. There I already knew the club and the environment, unlike this year, which was a bit more complicated, but the club was behind me, we took players who supported us, and the ones we had were extraordinary anyway, especially after last year's bad blow: for them any new relegation could have been a decisive blow to their careers and instead they were extraordinary.
In soccer things change very quickly, there will be time to talk with the company about the future and see what they think and how I think about it in order to plan for the future, but apart from this detail I think the great cohesion between everyone meant that we managed to save Spezia.”
