"There is renewed confidence in the locker room"

On the eve of the challenge against Benevento, coach Toscano answered journalists' questions in the press room, focusing on Catania's current situation: "First place is not tomorrow's goal, the standings are not pleasing to us or the fans, and we want to improve them. We finished the year well and started the second half of the season well, the team is regaining more clarity, more serenity, more confidence. In the second half of the season, there are many matches, and we are working and insisting on what can help us improve our standings. The attitude? We have our own precise identity, we are facing a team at the top of the standings that is showing important numbers, but for this reason, we must not lose our nature, we must be good at highlighting our strengths and pointing out the opponents' weaknesses. We are ready to face this match, the market with its rumors is a problem for everyone, we must be focused and aware that there will be difficult matches to face, not all can be won 4-0; we must be ready as against Sorrento. Luperini, Sturaro, Bethers, and Di Gennaro are unavailable. In the locker room, there is renewed confidence, for the result and the performance, we must exploit it and ride it with this positivity also transmitted by the people who accompanied us, helping our young goalkeeper incredibly and thus indirectly the whole team to do something more. This sense of responsibility must accompany us throughout the second half of the season. Out of the list? Choices were made at the beginning of the season, and we must be consistent, I thank Rapisarda and all the players I called upon when there was a numerical difficulty, we must focus on the field, the market is handled by the club and the director. Popovic? He is on his way out. Tomorrow's match will not change market strategies. New additions? We have clear ideas, Bethers and Di Gennaro will be missing, so we must intervene in these roles, in the forward department something could be done if the opportunity arises, but nothing is done just for the sake of it, it is done to improve. Director Pastore is in synergy with the club and me to continue the work started by director Faggiano, whom we wish a speedy recovery, he is in a delicate situation, and he is fighting to get out of it as soon as possible. The market is long, we must see what opportunities will arise. Benevento challenges you a lot in terms of movements and individual qualities, attention and concentration must be at a high level as in the first leg when we played a great match: attentive, intense, and determined, we put them in great difficulty for 60 minutes, then their qualities emerged, but we, with a great sense of belonging, brought home an important victory: that's the match we must play. Farroni will be part of the match, he is ready to take the field, and I am convinced he will perform greatly
