On the eve of the second leg of the playoff final against Cremonese, Spezia head coach Luca D’Angelo spoke to the media: “Pio Esposito is doing well, so he’ll be in the starting lineup as usual. We’ve also recovered Vignali, Lapadula, and Reca, they’ll all be available for the match.
The night before a game, I’m usually pretty calm. I’ll focus entirely on the match, trying to stay in the right emotional space, just like I’ve been doing up to now.
We’re really happy with the bond that’s been created between the team and the fans, and I believe that connection can play a key role for us tomorrow. It’s something very meaningful.
There will be many important factors tomorrow, so we’ll need to be ready on all fronts, just as we always should be.
The team is in good condition, physically and mentally. Every one of the players is feeling good, motivated, and ready to step up, and that’s exactly how it should be. These are the kinds of matches that are a joy to play in. If you can channel the pressure in the right way, these are the moments that stay with you forever.
We’ll look to start the match with those who are in the best shape, that will be the main factor guiding our decisions, while also taking into account the opponent we’re facing.
We know Cremonese needs to win, but we have no intention of sitting back and simply absorbing pressure. That’s not who we are.
What kind of Cremonese are we expecting? We’ll need to be ready to adapt to anything, even as the match unfolds. It’s hard to predict Stroppa’s choices, they have plenty of options, from more mobile strikers to more physical ones but we won’t abandon our identity. We’ll defend the way we know how.
The stadium has been packed all season long, and tomorrow it’ll be even more electric, that’s a beautiful thing. We’ll do everything we can, as always, to rise to the occasion and draw strength from the energy the fans give us".
