San Marino. Coppa Titano, Ceci: “Let’s not underestimate the opponent, I remember last year still clear”
Football in San Marino proceeds without stopping: on Wednesday evening the Tre Penne will make its debut, in the oldest competition in the Republic of Titan Cupcheck the Red pen.
After the comeback victory against Tre Fiori for 2-1 last Sunday, the coach Stefano Ceci focuses on the match with an analysis: “It’s early, but winning a direct match in the first few days can dare to get a sense of what we are at the moment, even if the journey is still very long and there is a lot of work to do. I think that against the Tre Fiori we played a good performance, against a team well placed on the pitch and full of quality players who also had the strong European path faced during the summer. We have in the first 25 minutes, where we also conceded goals, and we can always improve because not all matches go our way. Nonetheless, I have always heard the team in the game even when the Tre Fiori seemed to command the actions; positive to underline is the balance of the team that managed to recover the race with order.
We must immediately turn the page and for Ceci the imperative is to ‘catapult to the game later’, explains the Biancazzurri coach: “We are facing a great team, which has renewed its players with an excellent attacking department made up of Ben Kacem, Stefanelli and Cecchetti. Their game system always foresees the three-man defense like last year, which could make us think of the ‘Penna’ of last season, but this is absolutely not the case. They did well in the first days of the championship and scored a lot, we will need to make some small adjustments and I am confident we must remember that we will play at 180 ‘. We must not underestimate the opponent, just think of the 20 ‘granted in the last edition against Domagnano that cost us the elimination from the tournament. In the boys who stayed with us the memory is still alive and they want to redeem themselves.
In the first few days from the bench, some young players also took over Raffaele Coppolaclass 2003, e Mirko Malagoli, born in 2002, symbol of a green line increasingly present within the formation of the City. For Ceci “The younger guys are training very well and when they are called upon they are getting ready. It will be there in a very long season, where the depth of the squad will be a key element. “
