On the eve of the challenge against Sorrento, Coach Toscano answered the journalists' questions in the press room: "At this moment we need to focus on tomorrow's match, external dynamics are not within my competence, I must prepare the team in the best possible way and put the best lineup on the field for the performance. A new adventure begins, in football and in life there are many variables: we need to be good at finding the right solutions in the variables. The club and the sports director are working so that at the end of the transfer window there can be a team that can do better than last year, today what I can guarantee is work, commitment, passion for the work on my part and that of the staff, which is working exceptionally well in this situation, and of the players, to grow week after week in a comprehensive manner, everyone. The new Catania must be a mix of courage, clear ideas when we have and when we do not have the ball, spirit, identity, and group; it will take time and patience: the new project started seven-ten days ago. There are dynamics and constraints to respect and that we are respecting, I will try to field the best lineup so that we can start off on the right foot and I'm not referring to the result but to the right attitude. I didn’t expect a situation like this, but you never find the ideal situation anywhere. We started with the idea of changing a lot compared to last season, which was not brilliant, and I won't go into the details of why. We are in a situation where we are deficient in some areas and we need to add functional elements. Everyone wants the best for Catania and there is commitment from everyone to achieve it: I see the vice president and the sports director working continuously to make a competitive team available to the staff, Catania, and the city of Catania in order to satisfy their fans. The feelings are always positive because the team works with commitment, attention, and focus, we come from a good match especially from a mental point of view: it wasn't easy to stay focused for 120 minutes, to stay in the game and want to win until the end, it was a great match also from an athletic point of view, in the second half and in extra time it seemed that the team was performing better than in the first half, it means that the condition is good and improving. We need to improve in terms of quality and technique but knowledge, time, the feeling between the team and the staff, between departments, and among individual players will be fundamental. We must be good at working to accelerate this growth process. From the match against Crotone, I take many positive things, I saw the data related to the danger created and conceded and the successful passes. We made some mistakes, especially in the last 16 meters where we need to be clear-headed and calm, we need to be more solid when the opponent plays in dangerous areas and not allow ourselves to be unbalanced. The opponent? At this moment, my attention is much more focused on Catania, not because we are facing Sorrento, which had a great season last year, but regardless of the opponent the team must detach itself from the moment of uncertainty and be focused and determined on the match. These are determining factors, it's like the first day of school: I want the group to play as a team and bring their qualities into the match. Between this afternoon and tomorrow, we will make the final evaluations regarding the lineup. I coach a group of intelligent boys with a great work ethic, the feeling, collaboration, and empathy are found by playing, the match with Crotone showed that we are ahead in this regard but it's not enough; we need to raise the level of knowledge and it's a process that will require a bit more patience. I have come to know the city, we must always be united and as one. In difficult times, we need trust and mutual respect, we must know that we will always have our fans by our side and they must know that they will always have our utmost. With the right feeling, the growth period could be shortened and we could grow faster than others, who are more established while we start from scratch, it's almost like a year zero. Together we must push to shorten this time, we must leave our mark as men, players, and as a group. If we are all united and compact in difficult times, the performance will be there. What must not be lacking is commitment: I told the boys that the goal is to leave the field proud and to make the fans watching them proud. The most important thing is to create soul, spirit, and group. Some under 19 players train with us every day, they are growing, they have quality and we need to work on that: they have understood that I don't look at their age and there will be opportunities for them, but opportunities must be earned."
