Manuel Scavone: "It's possible to step up a gear against Carpi"

How do you explain your team's drop in performance in the first two months of 2015?

Manuel Scavone: "It's difficult to give an explanation as to why things aren't going well for us at the moment. I think that several things aren't working properly and fitting together at the moment. We're also a bit unlucky. But we don't want to look for excuses. We're clear about it "We know that this is a delicate moment for our team. We all have to step up our game to turn things around."

A look at the statistics books reveals that Pro Vercelli is very vulnerable to scoring goals in the final stages of a game. Does the team have a fitness problem or does a lack of concentration play a role?

"Of course you can put it in context, but I don't think we concede goals because we're physically in a bad mood or our concentration is waning. I think it's more of a phase that you just go through over the course of a season and that "Thanks to our good start to the season, it now seems even more striking. I am convinced that we will soon turn the lever again. Every match has its own story and every goal conceded arises from circumstances that are completely independent of others."

How do you assess your current workload? "My performances reflect those of the team. I've also slacked off a little, but I think that's completely normal over the course of a long championship. I'm convinced that I'll play at a higher level again. I think "I played some very good games in the first part of the season. Now we are all working hard to ensure that the entire team can return to this level."

Carpi, the league leader, is a guest on Saturday. In games like this you don't need any extra motivation, right? "We are always highly motivated, regardless of whether we are playing against the league leaders or the bottom team. Every match is important because there are always three points up for grabs. But of course you are more in focus when you play against the leaders. For us "It's a difficult game because Carpi has been able to collect 52 points so far. We will give everything in the hope that we can end our negative run on Saturday."

Does this mixed phase actually affect the climate within the team? Are you under more pressure than you were a few weeks ago? "Of course, but that's just part of the football business. We got off to a great start to the season and created a lot of dreams and illusions. It's normal that our audience is a little disappointed now. We simply have to focus on ours Concentrate on our goals, and that is primarily to stay in the league as quickly as possible. To do this we need another win. That is the only way to get out of the crisis."

Pro Vercelli against Carpi is also a duel between Manuel Scavone and Simon Laner, their South Tyrolean midfield colleague. What can you tell us about your opponent, who will probably be on the bench? "He's coming back from a bad injury and it's never easy to build on his good performances again. I'm convinced that he's working hard on his comeback to show his skills - just like he did always and everywhere. If you If you look at his resume, he has played for many great teams. That best describes his quality and value."
