Another great performance from Ales Mateju, who spoke to the press following the home victory: “In the first half, we pushed hard and deservedly took the lead. In the second half, Modena tried to come out a bit more, and we did well to engage in the battle, which we ultimately won fairly.
One of the secrets of this team is that we are a true, united group. Everyone is invested in the situation, and I think that shows from the outside. I believe we are definitely on the right path.
We are doing very well defensively. I have played both in a three-man defense and as a fullback, but it doesn’t change much for me because I believe it's important to help the team first and foremost, and that’s all that matters to me.
I arrived in Spezia last January during a difficult time, but from the very beginning, I tried to contribute and share my experience. There was a heavy atmosphere due to the results that weren’t coming, but we managed to lift ourselves up with our heads down. Now the situation is different; we are playing well and winning, and the environment is much more positive. We work great during the week, with our minds free of worries, and we are really happy.
At 28 years old, I have reached one of the best moments of my career. I feel good, both physically and mentally, and I feel matured. I can’t quite explain why, but undoubtedly, my role and this fantastic group have helped me a lot. I want to look forward; we are focused only on results, and we need to continue like this.
We feel a lot of confidence from the coach and the fans, and at this moment, we have the best defense in the league. However, I want to remind everyone that we have only played 12 matches. Our feet must remain firmly on the ground, and we shouldn’t get ahead of ourselves. Difficult moments will come, so we should enjoy this time while keeping our feet on the ground.
Of course, I always follow my national team, but right now, I’m not thinking about possible call-ups, although a lot will depend on how our season goes here. If we keep playing like this, maybe I can return to wear the jersey of my country".
