Maceratese-Monturano: Crucial Challenge for Excellence at Helvia Recina
Maceratese aims to win against Monturano in the last round of the championship to end on a high note.

Defender Matteo Nicolosi
"The goal always remains the same, perhaps taking a different path." Matthew Nicolosi, defender of Maceratese, look at the match on Sunday when Pino Brizi will be on stage at Helvia Recina Monturano in the last round of championship without losing sight of the final goal. The returnExcellence after the bad stage of Montecchio in which the team coached by Possanzini was beaten in the final minutes. "We start again - adds the player - from the bitter taste of the game lost at K Sport's home to close the championship in the best possible way in the home match against Monturano". The defender looks at this challenge in which Possanzini's team can only aim for victory in the hope that Montecchio stumbles in the Urbino derby. "We are preparing this match very carefully to gain the 3 points up for grabs and when the game is over we will see where we are".
In the first leg the red and whites drew at Monte Urano. "It won't be an easy match this time either. They - explains Nicolosi - need points to ensure the possibility of playing the playout at home, we are waiting for an opponent who will come to our house with a knife between their teeth". It will be a Monturano who will be very careful and will close every space. "We will have to pay attention to their counterattacks, they will try to defend themselves by focusing on some counterattacks". On the eve of the last first leg match Maceratese had a 7 point advantage over Montecchio who then scored 10 points more than Maceratese. "We must recognize - says Nicolosi - that they have played a great season, but it is not the case to throw away all the good things that have been built, but we need to look at the path that has been largely positive".
And now we need to kick the last match, the one played in Montecchio, to focus on the next appointments. "We have analyzed the match in Montecchio in depth, we are aware that we played a good game but it wasn't enough. We swallowed the bitter pill and now we are ready to start again. We can't dwell too much on negative results, we need to turn the page, move forward - concludes Nicolosi - and in our case think about the next one".
