Cristiano Lucarelli makes a prediction about Spal

Speaking at the press conference, Cristiano Lucarelli spoke about Saturday’s challenge against Spal: “We will have to be good at not creating assumptions that will make our opponents go into confidence from the very first bars. We will have to play a careful match. The matches are all more or less the same: there are two equal or nearly equal teams that face each other in games of great balance where whoever has more stamina and mental strength manages to win the match. This is the story of most of the games this year.”

The Ternana coach went on to elaborate: “In the matches we have seen, as soon as Oddo arrived he did the three-man defense, then he changed opting for the four-man line. In Cosenza in the last ten minutes they changed by putting in a three with the outfielders on the back foot. We saw them like that and we expect them like that. Nainggolan? He is a very strong player: he made the difference in A, let’s think in B. He won’t have 95 minutes of intensity, but if he decides to play 25 minutes he puts anyone in trouble.”

Closing dedicated to the infirmary: “Palumbo trained this morning, we will make evaluations but it should not be a big problem. Defendi, on the other hand, is unavailable. Then we have to evaluate whether to bring Ghiringhelli or not because he is not deployable. We wanted to bring him with the team but if we did we would take away a couple of days of therapy from him.”
