A brace and first place in the top scorers’ chart for Pio Esposito, who spoke to the press after the match against Carrarese: "Against Mantova, my tenth goal was ruled out by just a few millimeters; in Bari, I hit the post, and against Juve Stabia, I missed a penalty. So, I won’t deny that the milestone of my tenth goal had started to feel a bit heavy, but I believe this is where my personal growth over the past year is most evident. I didn’t let disappointment get to me. Instead, I kept working to find the back of the net again. This year, there’s no time for discouragement; it’s all about giving my best to reach my goal, which is to bring Spezia back to where it belongs.
Am I a derby man? It’s true, but I’m still missing Sampdoria. I hope to make up for it in the return match since I only narrowly missed scoring in the first leg.
I have a great relationship with Kouda, first and foremost off the pitch. He’s someone who’s always smiling and brings positivity to the whole group. On the field, we connect very well. He has the physicality to hold the ball, but also the power and speed to attack depth, so I’d say we make the perfect complementary partners for each other’s skills.
It wasn’t easy at all to come to Carrara and put in a performance like that against a team that had never lost at home and hadn’t conceded a goal in many games. But we came here today to show our worth and dedicate this win to our fans, who truly deserved to experience it live.
Have we lost ground to the top two teams? The answer is in today’s match. We can talk about a slight slowdown in terms of points, but apart from Bari, we deserved to win against Mantova and Juve Stabia. These are aspects we need to analyze.
I’m young, but I don’t consider myself a rookie. I’ve already had a full season behind me, and every day I play with the goal of returning to the top flight with Spezia".
