The President of Recanatese disappointed at the end of the match after the defeat in San Benedetto
Contrasting moods in the press room of the Palm Rivierain commenting on Samb’s “penalty” victory over Recanatese. On the one hand, there is the satisfaction of the red and blue club for the first victory of the season in front of over 6 thousand spectators, on the other, the disappointment and bitterness of the Leopardians for a defeat sealed by a penalty kick scored by Eusepi. But we must not forget the injury that occurred to Melchiorri after twelve minutes, which deprived Filippi of the most caliber man of his forward department. “In the first half we played well – analyzes Ottavio Palladini – starting off strong. But then in the final part we moved the ball slowly. You have to read the game situations better against a defense made up of tall men. And then it is not easy to play against well-established defenses. The only mistake we made was not closing the game when we had the chance. The entrance of Baldanzi gave greater incisiveness to the maneuver but all those who came on did so with the right mental attitude. An important victory for the morale and attitude of the boys on the field. But we still have to improve”.
“A goal – it is Umberto Eusepi who speaks – important for the three points we have won. And then scoring under the north curve was beautiful. We faced a strong Recanatese who defended well. But we could also have closed the game earlier. Samb is growing and has taken the right path to get to the top as soon as possible also with regards to the game”.
The president of the Recanati, Adolfo Guzzini points the finger at the race direction of Amadei of Terni. The incidents listed are Orsini’s empty exit, the penalty given to Samb, but also an alleged foul in the rossoblù penalty area that could have determined a penalty in favor of the Leopards. “These are two games – he comments – in which we suffer decisions that penalize a company that, although small, deserves to be considered more. We have suffered damage in some interpretations different from reality. We are sorry for the treatment received from the referees. I am bitter and ask for greater attention from the referees. We are addressing not only the referees but also the Lnd which must protect all its members. I wish Samb the best of luck in sport as it has always been a fair company.”.
“The games – analyses Leopardi coach Giacomo Filippi – are marked by incidents. Unfortunately, that’s how it was. It wasn’t easy to see the penalty awarded to Samb from the bench. At the moment the incidents are going against us but we have to be good at making them go our way. I’m happy with the boys’ performance. We knew that Samb could put us under pressure in some salient parts of the match in front of their fans. My team was very careful and balanced. Today we didn’t do badly against Samb and therefore I don’t think I should intervene on the market. We faced a great team and in front of an extraordinary crowd. The boys’ performance satisfied me and was up to the task. From my position, then, I didn’t see clearly whether the penalty for Samb was there or not. Sbaffo’s absence didn’t penalize us because it would belittle the work of the others. As for the injury that occurred to Melchiorri, we’re waiting for the medical report to find out more”.
