SALA STAMPA | Pisacane before the match in Naples

These are the words of Fabio Pisacane on the eve of Napoli-Cagliari, a one-off match valid for the round of 16 of the Coppa Italia Frecciarossa, on Wednesday 3 December at 6 pm at the “Diego Armando Maradona”.

AFTER-JUVENTUS
A team like ours that hasn’t won in two months has to do something more, we all have to do more. In Turin, there were moments when we defended well as a team, at others less so, and against big teams you can’t make any mistakes. In these two post-Juventus training sessions, we’ve worked on the things that didn’t work, sometimes it’s not just the technical and tactical aspects: when you want to win, you also have to put in that extra something in terms of competitive spirit. Whether or not we can turn the current situation around depends on us, on how much we really want it: clearly, what we’ve done so far hasn’t been enough.

THE MATCH AGAINST NAPOLI
“It will take a high-level performance from everyone, for more than 90 minutes, with the unity that was lacking at times in Turin. Every match is important to get us closer to improving; it’s an opportunity to pursue victory. We want to get back to that feeling. It’s disappointing because the boys are working well, and there’s nothing to criticize about their attitude and dedication, but we need to bring out something more.”
