Two days away from the last home match of the season, scheduled for Saturday, May 27 at 3:00 p.m. against Torino, Aquilotto coach Leonardo Semplici spoke in the usual pre-match press conference: "Against Lecce we played a good match, unfortunately it was not enough to bring home the three points, but the boys gave the performance I was asking for, especially in the first half, where we never risked anything. This shows us that the team is there, that it is well, both technically and physically, and we are preparing as best as we can for the game ahead of us, which will be crucial.
I have already expressed myself on the issue of non-simultaneous matches, but we know that now it is up to us. Now we are focused only on our opponent which is Torino, we know that we will face a great team with a very important tradition and we will do our best to take the game to our side. The Picco will be full and this makes me very happy, it is fundamental to have the fans on our side especially in important moments like this and we hope with our performance to bring them to rejoice with us.
Caldara has not yet recovered, Verde also had a small problem and tomorrow we will evaluate if he can be among the summoned players. Maldini and Bastoni have completely returned to the group today, their condition is obviously not optimal but they are two important returns for the last two games ahead of us.
Regarding the form we will go on as we have done in the last games; we meet a different opponent, who plays very man-to-man, very good at stealing the ball and restarting, we will always have to keep our concentration high to bring home the result we need.
Playing in these temperatures might bring some extra difficulties in the aspect of rhythm, but that goes for both teams. The boys are doing well, they are training with responsibility and knowledge, and I am convinced that they will play a great game and that is how it should be. We have a goal, the will to achieve it, and I think the team deserves it for the performances we have seen this year.
Torino has great players, they had a great championship this year, I think we will have to pay attention to the whole team and not to a particular individual.
Here I found a club that immediately gave great willingness, that is committed every day to be close to us and the boys. We were very pleased to have the full Platek family present even in the away match in Lecce, this makes us feel their closeness and trust, and for this we can only thank them".
