Gorini: “I expect a similar game like the one against Ascoli.”
On January 19, 2024 by Jake IovineCittadella head coach Edoardo Gorini spoke upon traveling to Terni for Cittadella’s Matchday 21 encounter with Ternana.
Here were some key highlights from the press conference.
Squad updates:
“Amatucci has returned. Branca is disqualified so he won’t play. The rest are all available.”
On how to expect Ternana:
“I expect a similar game to the one against Ascoli. When a team needs points to survive, every point and action is important. It’s clear that we need to be good and exploit them as they are in a difficult moment, as well as having a clear mindset.”
On Andrea Danzi possibly playing for Branca:
“Andrea knows that in these moments I’ve been preferring Branca. He knows that this is a great opportunity and he had a great week of training.
Danzi is a guy that I can’t say anything bad about, because he always trains 1000% so he is ready for this chance in Terni.”
On Terni being a difficult place to play (only one win in club history):
“We are entering a tense environment like we had done at Ascoli. This is why I said the game will be similar to that one. We need to do what we do best because I expect from the first whistle the environment will help them with their fans.”
On Ternana’s recent winter market signings:
“They have a lot of interesting young players. Raimondo is one of them who is doing well and is the surprise of this year. They also have other players with experience, and they are a competitive squad that will fight to avoid relegation.”
Ternana hosts Cittadella on Saturday at the Stadio Libero Liberati at 14:00 local time (8:00am EST).
