SPAL, Oddo and direct clash with Perugia: ‘The match is vital but it can’t be downloaded’

Another head-to-head clash awaits SPAL battling to avoid relegation to Serie C: Tomorrow the Este family will face Perugiain a confrontation valid on the 35th day of the Serie B championship. Coach Massimo Oddo spoke about the same at a press conference: “That this is a vital match is normal and we all know it. This is a match to be won, and winning means not only scoring 3 points, but also overtaking one team and getting closer to the other in head-to-head matches.. Castori is a seasoned and experienced coach, he has been in many of these matches and his Perugia are an aggressive team, but we have prepared well: character and pride, as well as humility and desire, must be characteristics to have. field to bring home the result we need.”

Moving on to the team: “We have all recovered, only the longtime patient Valsania and the suspended Meccariello are missing; Varnier has been training with the team all week, he is doing well, but obviously not 90 minutes in his legs. However, he can be useful to us in the match. However, don’t ask me about training, we’ve tried a lot, and I have clear ideas, but I don’t foresee anything: I only think about the need to win, but without overloading the race, I don’t think it’s necessary.. We have always been in a precarious position, there has never been complete calm, so further weight should be avoided.

He then concludes: “The results and performances of the last period give us courage, of course we are not happy with the standings, but I think we are on the right track. I hope the guys will be able to enter the field with a free head, but it will also depend a lot on how the game is directed. And in this sense, we are also glad that a full stadium helps us: of course, everything depends on us, but having the audience on our side is an advantage. However, it is clear that there is a downside to the coin, too much grumbling over a disappointing season can not work in our favor, but it depends on us, on the attitude that we show on the field. We have to turn limitations into strengths because there is a chance to win the race.”
