Messina, the president's charge: "Play with courage, honor the jersey with pride"

It is a strong push towards the fight for salvation that comes from President Justin Davis. "This jersey carries a history, it carries expectations and the voice of an entire city that lives and breathes soccer. The pressure is not a burden, it is a privilege," wrote the Giallorossi president on social media, trying to motivate Vincenzo Feola's group ahead of the relegation battle. "Do not let external noise cloud your concentration - he added -. Criticism, emotions, expectations belong to the stands. Your responsibility is on the field. Play with clarity. Play with courage. Trust each other. Everything is in your hands when the mind is free and conviction is strong. Keep your heads up. Honor this jersey with pride. We believe in you."

The awareness of having given everything is in Stefano Bombaci, one of the surprises of Vincenzo Feola against Vibonese. And he repaid with a performance of both quantity and quality. "Last week I watched the match from the outside – said Bombaci – and I think that compared to that we created much more. The coach is transmitting his ideas to us, we are training well every week and following what he tells us. We move forward with the awareness that sooner or later we will achieve victory."

What stood out against Vibonese was the team's approach and mental attitude. "The team did well. The week in retreat did us good, we were together and that was something we needed. For me, it is a starting point. I have been out for a month and a half, but that means nothing. The coach makes his choices, I continue to work."

And now there is a fight ahead: "In my opinion, in the end, we will save ourselves, despite the results that are not coming. We can only guarantee that we will continue to work and do our best to achieve salvation."
