Bari, Polito: “The team is stronger than a year ago, are we aiming for Serie A? We need a game and a shot.”

“The results are the result of weekly work, with Feralpisalo there was half a mistake, but how did the race go. It happened in the past, it happened this time and it will happen in the future. No explanation, in these situations you have a twenty minute cycle. But getting the ball back and trying to win is a sign of mentality.” Ciro Polito summed up the situation in Bari into microphones TeleBari stating that he is optimistic about his progress in the championship: “On paper the team is stronger than last year, but that doesn’t mean they will score as many points.. Improvement compared to the last championship means reaching the top two positions. Bari have reasons to return to Serie A, we announced that we would try to do this in three years. The first year was incredible, but Cheddirah and Capri found it hard to keep it together and now we have to become a team. – continues Polito – Loans? This is the best thing because it is not necessary that you take a player and he does well, in Bari you need attributes. You go to negotiate contracts and maybe they don’t pay, you would take them on yourself. But we can choose.”

Then there is room for the following market: “Given Maiello’s injury, a valuable playmaker will certainly be needed. if he is found, we are now sacrificing Acampora, but he is chained to this role. Then, based on the structure of the game, we will intervene, we are vigilant. Other roles? We will have to buy another striker if we continue to use two strikers.”

Finally, the discussion turns to some of the summer signings, from goalkeeper Brenno to attacking midfielders Aramu and Ejuma: “The Brazilian is a strong international goalkeeper, but he was not represented very well here also because he had to replace such an outstanding boy as Capril. I wanted to look for a goalkeeper abroad because there was little that satisfied me in Italy.. Brenno has a great personality, he may have made some mistakes with his feet, at this level it is normal that he needs to improve, but as a goalkeeper he can do something important. Alisson and Julio Cesar also had to adapt to Italy. – then space for two midfielders – Aram is absolutely fine, he is a player who gives his all, he has not managed to make his mark yet, but I believe he will have the opportunity to demonstrate what kind of footballer he is. Ejuma is an extra player in midfield, if I started him I would be worried., but not like that. We have so many players that we don’t know where to put them. If he doesn’t adapt, we’ll do something else.”

The final thought instead comes from Menes, who has been out since the start of the season and is close to returning: “I would pay anything to have it the same as when I received it.”. He has had an outstanding season and is a player who could help us a lot in terms of experience and quality. But in terms of timing, he is ahead: he has started a little tactics with the team, I think in a month or two we will be able to get him. After the January break we will have a newly discovered player.”
