Pisa in crisis, Mastinu: “Unexpected situation: we are bewildered. It is forbidden to disunite”
Guest of 50 Channel the midfielder of Pisa Giuseppe Mastino analyzed the difficult start to the season of the Nerazzurri team, with just one point collected in 5 matches: “It is an unexpected situation. To say that we started badly and that the moment is difficult is too little. We are a bit confused by this situation. There may have been some extenuating circumstances initially, but not anymore. Holding on to these excuses weakens our self-esteem. We have to reset everyone, new and confirmed, consolidate ourselves as a group and start a championship that unfortunately we haven’t started yet. We have demonstrated – continues Mastinu – extreme fragility. In Bolzano with SudTirol after the advantage there was the feeling of being able to double: a long ball was enough to bring down our certainties. With Reggina we started well in my opinion, but the team does not expect this start and collapses too easily. The demerit is of us more experienced that we have to support above all the new ones and the young people. A team that has these technical and human values cannot melt like this “.
But what is the climate in the locker room? “Good. Familiar, along the lines of last year in the group. If a locker room breaks at the first difficulties it means that there are few human values, this group instead has many. With a hard core that has been here for years and the new ones who after weeks some are bringing their leadership: when you arrive in a team the impact of the personality is not immediate. Now after 2-3 weeks – these characteristics of the new ones begin to emerge “.
Space, then, for an evaluation of the next opponent: Venice. “Both teams don’t come from a happy time. To think that this would be a little easier would be an incredible mistake. We must think only and only of us in this moment, it must not be others who condition us. We struggled to focus on ourselves and so let’s do it and I am convinced that the results will come “.
