The result against Ascoli is the most important thing, Gorini says.
On April 12, 2024 by Jake IovineCittadella head coach Edoardo Gorini spoke before Cittadella face Ascoli at the Stadio Piercesare Tombolato on Saturday.
Gorini’s side broke their 11 match winless streak last weekend against Reggiana, putting the Granata two points shy of the playoff zone. A win against Ascoli on Saturday can put Cittadella a possible 10 points clear of the relegation play-out.
Ascoli find themselves in 18th place coming into the Tombolato, but Massimo Carrera’s side have taken points from Cremonese, Catanzaro and Venezia this season. I Picchi stand three points from automatic safety with six games remaining.
Here were some key takeaways from Gorini as the squad prepares for the match against Ascoli.
Squad updates:
“Pittarello still hasn’t recovered, as well as Negro and Baldini, who had some discomfort in his meniscus.”
On the ‘salvezza’:
“I said it after the Reggiana match: this is a direct clash and it’s an important game. I’m not saying we’ll be officially safe if we win, but we would be nearly there. If you told me we would be safe with five games remaining, I’d take it.
We know that it’ll be a difficult match and we know that Ascoli is coming here ‘with a knife in their teeth’ to try and get points.”
On Ascoli:
“I expect a typical game against Ascoli. I don’t know how they prepared for the match, but we have to be ready for anything. It will be a rough match and the key moments can decide it. The stakes are very high, Ascoli will come here for a battle so it will be a difficult match. In the end, the result is the only thing that matters.”
