SPAL - Perugia, the pre-match conference of coach Di Carlo

At the end of the morning training session, coach Mimmo Di Carlo presented the SPAL - Perugia match in the pre-match press conference of Day 3 of the Serie C NOW 2023-2024 Championship.

"In these two weeks we have tried to do work in continuity," the spallino coach began, "to continue on our path of growth both physically and tactically. I am very confident, because the team is well, working well during the week and tomorrow I would like to see them as they train on the field, trying to play a great game against Perugia. I think our opponents are one of the teams that will play a top league: they are a very good team, led by a good coach and they play good soccer. Tomorrow will be a good game to play, to experience and to win."

"We were very sorry about the injury of Dario Sits, but we are talking about an extraordinary boy who from the moment he got hurt to today has shown all his goodness and desire to be a protagonist again. In the last few days he has been here with us always with a smile, motivating and supporting his teammates: a boy with such a mentality at his age has in the future something extraordinary to do. He is a boy who, despite the injury, is part of the group and is close to us as we are close to him."

"Resuming after the break is easy," added coach Di Carlo, "because we are playing against a strong team in front of an extraordinary crowd, so I think the motivation is there. I asked the team to stay in the game for the whole ninety-five minutes, trying to be able to read the different situations and understand when we will need to make transitions, when we will need to play from the bottom and when, instead, we will need to go vertical. We are well, in front of our fans we will be highly motivated and it will be up to us to push our public, which has always shown great affection and warmth towards us in all previous outings, because on the field we feel their cheering and it is very important for us."
