SPAL - Juventus Next Gen, coach Colucci's pre-match conference

After finishing the eve training, coach Leonardo Colucci reached the press room of the "Paolo Mazza" Stadium for the pre SPAL - Juventus Next Gen conference, a match valid for the 23rd day of the Serie C NOW 2023/2024 Championship.

"Tomorrow is a match to be won at all costs as were the others, rhetoric aside. I want the team to always be compact, determined and with competitive fury, that's what I have always asked and I will ask the boys tomorrow as well before taking the field. I always tell them that the one who makes the least mistakes wins."

"The return of the president together with his new partner has undoubtedly brought positive energy to the group, but that we must always have, the will to fight until the last minute must never be lacking."

"Tomorrow is a direct confrontation for salvation, we have to enter into this perspective and have the necessary ferocity. The guys are giving their all but in this situation it is necessary to do even more, they have to dig deep inside themselves and draw strength from their nervous energies as well."

"People talk about individual mistakes, but I like to analyze mistakes starting from the beginning and not from the end: in handling the ball we often lose it and this means giving confidence to the opposing team, which in turn incentivizes individual error that becomes an additional advantage for those in front of us. We need to be more focused and make fewer mistakes, which in our case are more mistakes of principle than of a technical nature."

"At home, the fans drag us and I always say that we have to start strong and finish strong, managing the various moments in the game as best we can. The beauty of soccer is that it always gives you a chance to prove that what happened before was a misstep, and we have a chance tomorrow to prove that the Perugia blackout was a misstep and nothing more."
