Ascoli’s coach Andrea Sottil he spoke on the official website of the Juventus club at the end of the match played against Empoli at the “Castellani” on the sixteenth day of the Serie B championship.
Is it more the regret for not having obtained the three points or the satisfaction of having endured the whole game against Empoli? “A bit of both, I feel sorry for the boys because they deserved the victory because of what we saw on the field, we collected more goals, especially those from Bajic at the beginning of the second half; we defended ourselves with order, we played a good game. Too bad for Empoli’s draw: on the occasion of the corner, they had five men over 1.90m in the area. We are on the right track, we showed it tonight against a team built to win the championship ”.
The bianconeri had an excellent impact in the match with Bajic scoring at 2 ‘and close to doubling at the start of the second half. “Yes, the team in these two races has not lowered its concentration. I have already said it, the values are there, the boys have activated their self-esteem and, when you go out onto the field with a clear head, everything is easier. Tonight we have never neglected to attack ”.
Ascoli closed a very difficult 2020 with a smile: “We hope that 2020 will disappear quickly, especially that this virus is defeated and we can return to a normal life. From a sporting point of view, I say that for Ascoli 2021 it must be a year of momentum for the team and for the fans, let’s cross this two-day bridge with a smile with two good games and four points. Without losing sight of the direct clash at home with Reggina, with whom we have to do a great performance ”.
The technician has been here a week and the team already seems to have learned his directions: “I’m not surprised, I expected the concepts to be understood quickly, there are thick players who have also played in Serie A or come from important categories. There is still a lot of work to be done, but the team has changed its mindset and approach to racing. My participation from the sidelines? It has always been like that, I like to keep the team alive, now with the absence of the public I feel a little more ”.
What are Bajic and Saric like? “Saric, he was at the limit of fatigue, the same happens with Bajic, they are accumulating many minutes and it is normal”.
He had announced a turnover: compared to Spal, he lined up Tofanari, Gerbo and Pierini from the first minute. A judgment on the three. “I have to congratulate all three, Tofanari played a great game in the debut, Gerbo and Pierini themselves, but I also congratulate the substitutes like Tupta, Eramo, Chiricò, Cavion, they all responded present, this is the right spirit.”
