It’s almost a play-off and Reggina is called upon to win the three points so as not to see the work done so far by Torrisi in vain. The coach from Catania met journalists at the sports center yesterday, on the usual day before, underlining the importance of the away match: «The team is aware that it is a fundamental match for our season. We are calm because we know well what our strength is. Igea, net of the penalty, did something extraordinary. But we will give one hundred percent, challenges like this give us energy. For the Giallorossi it is perhaps the most exciting match of the last twenty years. Until a few days ago they cultivated the dream of returning to Serie C. With minus five, however, they risk not even making the playoffs. On the pitch, I always repeat, the players are on the pitch, not the chatter. We will need to be dominant in terms of attitude and perfect tactically. Even on an emotional level I would like to see a reactive Reggina capable of not being distracted by external factors. In matches like this it is natural to have competitive malice. Scoring at the beginning or at the end doesn’t make any difference, certainly taking the lead could benefit us.”
On the environmental conditions that await the Amaranth team he added: «I am lucky to have footballers who have played in stadiums with thirty thousand people. Some have even played in the Europa League. I live for days like this, they excite me. Respect for everyone, but Reggina has a coat of arms that has no equal. However, it will be necessary to carefully read the moments of the match. The goal is to give joy to our people who will follow us en masse. In just a few minutes, our fans pulverized the tickets available to them. As soon as he arrived. Torrisi then focused on the injured, also indicating those who have recovered: «Andrea Di Grazia will be there, unfortunately Sartore will be missing. Barillà is out and I hope to have him back for next Sunday, while the rest of the squad is ok.” The question about Ferrero, slightly down in recent releases, could not be missed: «I would like not to talk about the singles. Luca may have had a decline, also caused by the group braking. We expect to have players in top condition. Ferraro, in this sense, being the finisher, is penalized. He has trained with intensity and I am sure he will put on a convincing performance. I perceive positive signs, we are back to those of a couple of weeks ago.”
