SPAL - Recanatese, coach Di Carlo's post-match conference

At the end of the match between SPAL and Recanatese, coach Mimmo Di Carlo reached the press room of the "Paolo Mazza" stadium to comment with the journalists present on the victory against the marchigiani.

"Today came the performance I expected, we brought out the courage and determination that is needed in this category. We were unlucky in the first half not to go ahead, when we would have deserved it on several occasions and in the second half the expulsion could have put us in trouble, instead our captain with his quality dragged us to victory."

"The substitutions? I wanted to put Contiliano in because I needed dynamism in the middle of the field, but Peda's expulsion changed everything and I decided to put in a physical player like Nador because I knew that Recanatese would come to cross. With him I also put in Rabbi and Maistro, and I congratulate both of them for the way they came in."

"The two midfielders Büchel and Carraro were tired, but in 10 against 11 they gritted their teeth and were even stronger than before. This is what I want to see from the team, what I asked for, and the guys did it."

"Tonight's victory is a team victory and I want to thank those who were there before me, because I found a well-coached team even if sometimes the results don't come."

"These days we have tried to transfer courage above all, this is a quality team but it's not enough: one win is not enough, we have to work hard continuing on this path but this is definitely a good start."
