Ahead of the salvation play-off, set for Sunday evening at the "Mapei Stadium" against Hellas Verona, coach Leonardo Semplici spoke in the usual pre-match press conference: "We are about to play the most important match of the year and we are ready to experience it with the utmost confidence, awareness and maximum respect for the opponent. I am convinced that the team will offer a great performance and bring home the result; we have shown that we are up to the task and I have confidence in my guys.
Needless to make a list of absences, I have a team of real men and those who will be available I am sure will give everything they need to bring home the result we all want to get and deserve to get.
We have prepared the match well, with the right amount of serenity, trying to better manage the nervous energies that will make the difference on Sunday. We have left the players thinking about what they will have to do on the field, I am aware that they are well and will give their souls for Spezia. We have two absences also due to disqualification and we have evaluated some possible solutions to face Verona.
Salva Ferrer? A great professional, always available and always ready to help the team.
Verona thought they were safe after our defeat against Torino, that was not the case and we will play everything in the last 90 minutes. The value will perhaps count little, it will be the head first and foremost that will make the difference and we know very well what we will play for on the field of Reggio.
In Lecce I didn't have Amian and we opted for Gyasi, this time there won't be both, but I have full confidence in my guys and whoever I choose, as well as whoever enters the field in the game, I repeat, will give everything.
League matches are another story, in this one episodes will count a lot and we will have to keep our concentration threshold very high, not drop even for a moment and hold our own until the end. In the starting lineup we will also have to think about possible penalty kicks, which is a different aspect than usual, but first let's think about the 90 of battle ahead, trying to win it on the field.
I don't want to talk about individuals; I have to ask everyone who will take the field to give their best and indeed, something more than their best. We will need all the positive energy to bring home a result that can be historic. Merit to our Club who did everything to play in Reggio Emilia and thanks to our fans who will be really numerous at the "Mapei": it will be up to us to do the rest and give a huge joy to everyone."
