Ascoli, Castori: “We must set fire to the square and escape. I needed to feel the passion”

New coach Ascoli Fabrizio Castori spoke today at a press conference, imagining himself again in the square where he returns twelve years later: “I am grateful to the club that called me and brought me back to a place where I always feel great emotions, this will give me strong motivation” not to disappoint. Mine is active forward football, consisting of aggression and speed of execution, the team adapts to the requests of the coach, we will work on this and we have 15 days to change the psychological and field aspect. I don’t care about the contract, I’m here for the affection and love for this square, this year I needed passion, affection and warmth, important aspects for a passionate person like me.. Then it is clear that there are points, but they leave at any moment when they are found. If everything is good with us, we can continue together, otherwise we will separate.. Now we need to think about our salvation, and not about setting the bar for the playoffs, which are still a long way off.”

Castori then talks about some of the players he coached in the past that he will meet again at Juventus: “I meet Di Taccio and Bogdan, who I had in Salerno two years ago and we went to Serie A, after an extraordinary trip I I meet Gnahore, whom I met in Carpi last year after an accident in which he risked losing his life. I meet again with Viviano, whom at 18 I took from the Brescia Primavera team to bring to Serie B in Cesena, so he became my discovery. I saw that he plays after 20 years, which means he has preserved himself well.. – continues Castori, as stated on the Marche club website, – I’m sorry that Bogdan is injured, he had an excellent championship with me and scored five goals in Salerno. Di Taccio is always the same, combative, tough and generous, Viviano has gained a lot of experience. Apart from these names, I know all the others because I follow the news, and the matches that I don’t see live, I watch on television.”

Then there’s room for a possible module that can be used to set up a team: “Three-man defense? I try to play based on the instructions that come to me from the characteristics of the team, we need to be flexible in tactics, but the principles should always be the same. I believe this team should play with five midfielders, two strikers and three defenders. There may then be a playmaker or an attacking midfielder among the midfielders, but overall the midfield five remains taller and more aggressive up front. The team works if everyone performs the defense and attack phases.”

Finally, he finds the thought in the square again: “Here we need to set fire to the square, here we need to escape.Even if there are technical limitations, they fade into the background because they are compensated by anger, determination and the desire to achieve results. We need to light a fire on the field. The players have to earn their place every day because I train on the last day, after the last training session.”
