On the eve of the departure for Puglia for the match against Audace Cerignola scheduled for Sunday, coach Toscano answered journalists' questions, thus presenting the upcoming match: "We are facing a team that is having a great championship and has built its results over the years, building and improving its framework and project every year; it will be a great challenge between two teams that want to surpass each other, the opponent has important numbers but Catania has worked well, focused, I have seen them work as a team and we are ready. Frisenna is from Catania, and that is the most important thing; he is an extraordinary guy, who immediately made himself available to the team and his teammates. He is very motivated and can cover many roles in the midfield, very dynamic. Dalmonte has characteristics needed in the forward department: he loves to attack spaces and one-on-one, he can adapt as an attacking midfielder and as a second striker, he is a modern and very versatile forward. He too arrives with great motivation, after these six months in which he made few appearances he is eager to demonstrate his qualities. Both are available. There are few favorites in this group: surprises are always around the corner. We are facing a team with important numbers, built over time with a certain philosophy and strategy. We are trying to strengthen and improve an important squad, but today we are focused on the Cerignola match. The synthetic field? For two weeks we have been training in Misterbianco, a very beautiful structure suitable for preparing the match, but the surface doesn't matter as much as the approach. On Sunday I saw another energy and a different spirit, already in Picerno I had said that something had changed, we must continue on this path. Stoppa, Farroni, Sturaro, Bethers, Di Gennaro, Luperini, and Lunetta are unavailable, we were unable to recover them this week: we did not want to risk creating further problems by rushing the times, so they will join next week.
Strategically, we want to strengthen this group, already at a good level, in terms of numbers and characteristics. In the forward department at the moment we are few but we must keep up with the timing of the opportunities that arise. We have very precise ideas about the characteristics we are looking for: if we manage to achieve them, great; otherwise, we don't do something just for the sake of doing it. Del Fabro is in good condition, he needs to grow in feeling with the team. He realizes himself more as a central defender, but if necessary he can also play as a full-back. Guglielmotti's outburst is that of a player who wants to demonstrate his value: at the moment of the goal he expressed all his desire. It is the demonstration of how much these guys care about doing well in Catania."
