DS Ascoli: We lose to Cagliari, but not like this. We didn’t draw.”

Athletic director Ascoli on the weekend of the championship Marco Valentini analyzed the dynamics of the team eight days before the end of the competition: “Sometimes after defeats it’s better to play right away, in our case it will be a profitable break, because we worked with the coaching staff not only from an operational point of view, this week we worked as a group, as team and as a club to find out why things have gone wrong in the last few games. Various problems with the staff and the team were studied: there were three different defeats against Bari, Cagliari and Venice, we also had a period of good play, but in the last three games we were also doomed to episodes. We lost to Bari on penalties, and we lost to Venice on a side free kick, so on dead It was a match in Cagliari in which the first 45 minutes were at an excellent level, but in the second half we approached an opponent like Cagliari badly, we will lose, but not after the first half of this level. We came to some conclusions that I hope served to draw the line, restart and make the season finale the best thing for us, for the community and for the city.”

On the season finale: “We haven’t made the table yet, our next final is against Brescia, we realized that it’s not the opponent that matters, but ourselves, we must meet the season finale with great unity, a spirit of self-sacrifice. , with humility, with heart, soul. If we put it all into this, together we will succeed, without thinking about tables, calendars, when we do the right things, we do well.”
