At the final whistle of the challenge against AC Milan, Aquilotto coach Leonardo Semplici spoke in the usual post-match press conference: "I turn the compliments you are giving me to the boys, because the victory is completely theirs, I had asked for something different, because commitment, determination and desire to impose themselves had never been lacking, but we could not bring out these values, despite the fact that we had also done good matches. The change of form was also due to the strength of the team we were facing, it had happened before, especially in the running game, and I must say that today it paid off. Right now I could see that the team could express itself better with this set-up.
We had an extraordinary second half, in which the boys gave everything and played over the top. This gives us hope for the continuation, we responded on the field to a difficult moment, but we still haven't done anything. There are three decisive matches ahead of us, it is right to enjoy this victory, but it is important to think immediately about the next game, which will be crucial.
I have to say that on set pieces we were impeccable, we managed to score two goals du two loose balls and this is good, we lifted some taboos we were carrying around. Defensively the boys were extraordinary, in preparation for the match I tried to empower the whole group, because we cannot afford to lose this category and a great match came out of it, like real men.
Also today our fans were close to us, they dragged us from the beginning to the end and also in the pre-match, with the accompaniment of the bus to the stadium. It is essential to believe in it all together, to be one team-fans-club, a fundamental aspect to reach the goal.
Nzola is a player capable of moving the balance, unfortunately we lost him for a few games, today the importance of this player was seen again, but it is important to congratulate the whole group, which was really fantastic.
Wisniewski? I'm happy for his first goal, but more importantly for the growth he is continuing to make steadily, and the same goes for Esposito, who scored a beautiful goal on a free kick and besides that, he played excellently in the match. Kudos should be given to those who got them, and as I had said some time ago, every player should be given time to be able to grow and take their own path forward.
I had given the team two days off, but the guys asked me to be able to have just one day off and to go right back to work to prepare the next game in the best possible way, and this is another very important signal and one of how this group wants to achieve salvation.
The Via del Mare match is another final, we know the value of this team, who will give everything to beat us, we are going to play a decisive game and we want to go and impose ourselves in the next engagement as well, we have the means to be able to do it".
