Di Carlo: 4 points in 5 games will be needed: "We will be more aggressive against Vis Pesaro"

There are some biscuits on the market called 'Ugly but Good'. They are the symbol of this Ascoli definitely ugly seen at Pontedera, but then capable of grabbing a good draw that keeps the distances from the playout zone unchanged, the one to always keep an eye on. The black and whites seen in Tuscany have taken a step back compared to the positive performance shown at home last week against Arezzo. It is also the coach Mimmo DiCarlo in the end he underlined the difficulties of his team also due to a formation too defeatist. Immediately the goal, the Ascoli coach put in the quality of Tremolada and Marsura, the desire of Adjapong and the freshness of Gagliardi and Ciabuschi and we saw another team. Nothing transcendental, but the reaction was there and this is the most important signal that the team has sent in this challenge. What is worrying instead are the defensive amnesia. Alagna's horizontal pass without any pressure and Piermarini's desolate resignation in the clash with Corona on the occasion of the goal, are truly discouraging. And Di Carlo, in the press room at the end of the match, also underlined these macroscopic defensive errors.

Mister Di Carlo in the end it's a good draw, but was it a winnable match? "It was a very orderly first half but in terms of play we can and must do better. They closed down very well, we had to look for numerical superiority on the wing and occupy the area better. In the second half the match was under control but then in one minute we made two very serious mistakes, first with Alagna with a wrong horizontal pass and then in the second defection we conceded a goal. At that point either you give up and lose 3-0 or you react".

A reaction also facilitated by the entries from the bench? "I take the reaction as valid. However, much more needs to be done".

In his timetable, how many points will be needed to save ourselves? "We have 37 points and there are 5 games left, I always expect the best from the boys, unfortunately today the quality was lacking. We will need another 4 points to save ourselves, against Vis Pesaro we will go on the pitch with a more aggressive mentality, we cannot just wait. The draw tonight is fair for what we have seen".

Did Corazza's absence create any problems for you in choosing the lineup? "An illness happened, but I'm still happy with both Forte who played the entire match and Ciabuschi's attitude when he came on, we have a fairly large roster."
