Chants, flags and passion: SPAL's support

First goal with the Spal jersey for Steven Nador, who is unable to fully enjoy the satisfaction of the goal scored at the Benelli stadium in Pesaro as it was not combined with the three long-awaited points. "It was a difficult match - assures the Togolese athlete -.

Milan Futuro took six points against us, beating us in both the first and second legs. But as far as we are concerned it is not a problem: we will face them to win. The only worry we have is relegation: safety is at stake and I do not deny that the team feels the pressure, but we are ready to give everything. My role? I have no preferences: both in defense and in midfield". Set pieces are the main sore point of Spal's defensive phase, a problem of no small importance that does not leave Nador indifferent.
