The Battle at Marassi

“We are alive and we strongly believe in it,” is the clear and precise message from Pasquale Marino one day before the most important match of the season. Tomorrow evening, Salernitana will play against Sampdoria at Marassi, with much, if not almost all, of its future at stake. Through a club statement, Marino spoke about the upcoming match: “There’s no point in hiding it, the stakes at Marassi will be very high, and maximum concentration will be needed during the various phases of the match, but this can only give us motivation. At Marassi to achieve the maximum.” To do this, here’s the recipe: “Only the heart should be warm, while the head should be kept cooler and especially focused on what needs to happen on the field and how to determine it. It will largely depend on us. It will be a match with high competitive tones, but we must interpret it in our own way, without losing our identity.”
