Soccer - Ciceri: "Let's capitalize on our strong first half and get the three points." - Sports - Varese News

ANDREA CICERI (Varese Coach): Being in second place now means nothing; what matters is another performance with many flaws and difficulties. However, I'm more surprised by the first half, which we played really well, while it's normal to have difficulties in the second half, especially physically but also psychologically. Cairese coach Matteo Solari is an excellent coach and did a good job of finding the keys to causing us problems. However, in the end, we took home the three points, which are very important. For once, I also want to highlight the first half, which is the path we want to follow when opposing teams come to play against us.

CICERI 2 : The tactical aspect hasn't changed, but they've raised the level of play and aggression with the two substitutions. This has caused us to drop a bit. There's definitely a physical aspect too: we're playing with the same players, some of whom aren't yet at their peak condition. My goal would be to start and finish very strong, with many players in good condition, but right now we have to make some choices. My regret is not having scored the third goal in the first half, which could have sealed the game, but I knew we'd have conceded something. Now, however, I'm more concerned about recovering energy for Sunday's match.

NICCOLÒ ROMERO (Varese forward): I'm very happy, especially because after being out, returning to the pitch, thanks in part to the goal, gives you a different kind of energy. You experience fatigue differently and it helps you give your all. Then, obviously, winning matches is our main goal. When you're tired, the enthusiasm of scoring a goal gives you the push to say, "OK, I'm still here, I'm doing my part." In moments like these, you have to continue to help the team. The first half was excellent; we continued to pass the ball and play even after the goals. In the second half, however, Cairese changed things up and caught us higher. It's normal that, in the fourth game, there are still things to improve, but we're on 13 points (a slip, it's 10, ed. ) with a lot to fix, and that's already a good result.
