Catania, Viali relaunches Cicerelli: "In the meantime, I summon him"

The first press conference of Viali, early in the morning, obviously did not reveal the tactical ideas of the new coach of Catania ahead of the home match tomorrow against Casarano.

Viali summarized the five days of work this way: "I have confirmed how this team has an important dedication to work, it is curious to learn something different. Beyond the playing systems, we need to act with mentality, occupy spaces. There are players who can be decisive in the last twenty meters as required by the plot of each match."

The coach also anticipated that Cicerelli will return to the list of call-ups: "I have to leave one player out, but I still need to talk directly with the person involved and I won't reveal who it is. Forte? He is improving but will not be called up because he needs to fully reintegrate into the group."

Regarding Casarano and its most representative player, Viali also mentioned: "It will be important to know the opponent and their strengths. We have worked on this aspect and Chiricò is a player of exceptional quality. We need to be good at limiting their qualities in the offensive phase."

The psychological aspect will have a significant impact. "I want a team free to enhance the qualities of the individual, I cannot expect that we can change radically after five training sessions, I do not have the presumption to teach anything to anyone, but I ask for clear ideas in the two phases and in dealing with difficulties."

A mention of the individuals, to conclude: "Jimenez can also do different things, he could become a playmaker with maturity. He has good timing and a great foot, he has intensity. He can play as a trequartista and as a midfielder on the wing even with an inverted foot. Caturano played in Cesena as a second striker and can move the ball."
