"We must be hungrier than the others"

On the eve of departure for Latina, coach Toscano answered journalists' questions in the press room: "We have another day to assess some situations regarding availability, tomorrow we will do the final training and we will have the opportunity to do so: at the moment Montalto, De Paoli, although still a bit debilitated, Ierardi, even though he has a virus, are returning; in these three days Anastasio has not trained, he was coming from an injury and was loaded from the 90 minutes played, we will see tomorrow. What do I say to the man Toscano? I say to continue like this, clear-headed, focused, and on point because I have to convey this to the team, we have to work in this final rush to arrive at the right moment in the best conditions of the entire squad, physically and mentally, to best face the goal to be achieved: climb the standings and enter the playoffs in the best possible position. Everything depends on these matches which will not be easy, we must have more hunger than others to make up for the emergency, I do not compromise on attitude. The fans? We are sorry to play in such a surreal atmosphere but I do not judge the choices, the only thing I can say is to stay close to us until the referee whistles, then if they are happy they will applaud, if not they will whistle. Since the beginning of the year, I have been trying to convey to this team why we chose Catania: hunger, attitude, and understanding where I am playing and working is fundamental. Not because it is an emergency moment you can settle for a draw with Foggia: you have 16 players to bring home the victory, you sought it and maybe deserved it but it's not enough and if you settle it means that "the fridge is full"; mine is "empty." Latina is a team that in names and individualities has values, we must limit their values and enhance ours through attitude and approach."
