Emanuele Pio Cicerelli: top scorer and leader of Ternana under the guidance of Abate

Emanuel Pio Cicerelli, born in '94, is having a great season. He is top scorer of the group with 12 goals (practically already double the previous record of 2016/2017 with the Paganese jersey), many of which scored with signature plays, 5 assists. The tactical belief and mentality of Ignazio Abate they are highlighting his qualities as a left-footed attacking winger and second striker.

"I've never been a goalscorer - explains "Cice" in a press conference - and I don't feel like one. It's obvious that these goals make me proud and everyone deserves credit for that. I would like the top scorer to be Cianci or others. I'm not interested in the top scorers' table, but, since we're here, we'll see how we're doing in March. I can't hide the fact that as a team we look at the results of the others, but the table is still very relative and we'll look at it in March anyway".

The strength of the group: "The team is in a period of maximum expression and we are doing well from every point of view. Even when we change the module we have very clear ideas. When you feel comfortable on the pitch and have fun, it's a great thing. There will never be a lack of running for your teammate and extra sacrifice. The basis is the harmony and the harmony that we have created between us in a natural way, as professionals who love their work".

Fans chapter: "We can only say thank you. Lately playing at home or away seems almost the same, with the right proportions. We must continue like this also to bring closer those who, for one reason or another, have distanced themselves".

The worst match of the Ternana and Cicerelli and the most beautiful: "The worst certainly against Torres. A bit weak, heavy pitch and credit to the opponent who played in a particular way. We encountered difficulties. The most beautiful match? I hope the one that is yet to come".

Cicerelli's relationship with faith: "I was born in the town of Padre Pio and my name is obviously religious. I am a believer and when we can, we go to the Sanctuary with my family."

La Virtus Entella: "He is very strong and I think he will get to the end. As always we will play to win, even though we know that it will be tougher than usual and we will all have to give something extra".

Il Pescara: "Better to meet him on the first day back than at the end."

For tomorrow's match against Fabio Gallo's team (disqualified), Capuano, Tito, Cianci, Donnarumma and Mattheus remain in doubt, especially the captain and the Spaniard. And for those who should recover, the question mark also concerns their use from the first minute. Today Abate will be in a conference at 13.15:XNUMX, after the finishing touches that will obviously take place behind closed doors.
