A very important watershed in a month of high and low altitude clashes, the away match in Catanzaro is one of the most difficult of the Cadet tournament. On the other hand, it is Aquilani himself who looks at his opponent with respect, intrigued by Vivarini’s formation, a true revelation: “Catanzaro is a team that has a very clear way of playing – admits the Nerazzurri coach –. The system and the form of play they believe in brings results, they have a very specific identity, I like it and I congratulate them because in addition to scoring points they play proactive football.” Few doubts, especially in midfield and attack, in a week decimated by injuries that took away both Torregrossa and Calabresi until January. “For the market there are situations to verify – declares Aquilani -. We will see how Ernesto is and we will certainly wait for him, but we will make the best assessments for the market”.
The focus is on the match against Catanzaro. In defense, Canestrelli’s partner will be Hermannsson: “He is an example that applies to everyone and the boys must perceive that their moment can arrive at any moment. Tomorrow Hermannsson will certainly be an option for us, because he made himself available ready, he has always trained well and the mentality must be that of never wanting to leave the pitch again.”
In midfield the doubt is linked to the playmaker’s appearance, with Miguel Veloso and Barberis who have recently remained out of the spotlight: “The playmaker is an option, but we have different solutions – continues Aquilani –. Veloso is a fundamental player for me , he was out for tactical reasons, we wanted different football at that time.” However, among the doubts about the attacking midfielder there is also Valoti, victim of a flu attack in recent days: “I still have some doubts about the formation – admits Aquilani -. The injuries did not allow us to have much continuity. Valoti also had a bit ‘ of influence, but it comes with us.” One of the surprises could be to use Moreo and Gliozzi together from the first minute: “They could play together from the start or during the match. There are several players available in the offensive part. From match to match we understand the option we believe fairer. Gliozzi is also ready to play from the start.” Then on Arena: “He’s a very strong player for me, he has everything I need. I’m waiting for him and I’m sorry for having used him little lately, but I’m counting on him a lot.”
