Crucial Sunday for Messina, on stage today at the “Bruccoleri” against a Favara team in a crisis of results (4 points in the last 12) and in fact in the last resort to get back into the race for salvation. A real play-off, also for Acr who comes from a point obtained in the last three matches. Coach Vincenzo Feola knows this well: «It was an important week of work, we are coming off a bad defeat against Sambiase, the boys are aware of the value of the match and have trained with intensity and desire». Trasciani, Bosia and Aprile return. Some problems for Zucco, as well as Orlando who will be out until the end of the season due to a fractured fibula. There are more alternatives, especially in attack, where there are several in the running for a shirt. «Between suspensions and injuries last Sunday the whole defense was missing, now I have the chance to have more solutions and we will exploit them».
Wait or impose? Something more is also expected on the construction of the game.
«We are insisting on this, on the approach, on trying to have ball possession. It means having the opportunity to score goals and destabilize the opponent’s structure. I see big improvements, it would take more time but we don’t have it because the need to get a result persists.”
There are urgent signs in the mentality that leads to imposing one’s own game but also in interpreting the matches with the right competitive malice.
«With everyone’s recovery, the level of sporting aggression also rises, this aspect must come first given how we are. The desire to fight for every ball must be at the base, even on this day we will find a fierce opponent who will play everything in a single match. We are ready and prepared.”
