Matteo Bovalino may be considered a technique-gifted player, one for the show and for brilliant play, but he's also shown he can be a fighter on the pitch, which has gained him further consideration and recognition on the part of his team mates, gaffer, and supporters.
Asked about the forthcoming game against Xeneises, Bova declared "Well, we must keep it cool, we've got all the ability required to go out there and perform. We need to keep calm and be aware that we've got the potential to come out worthy winners. We need to extend our current run of form, as we're going to face a host of extremely hard games in the weeks to come, I'm talking six pointers".
On how his team have fared so far, and the actual developments he thinks are in the shaping up in the coming months, Bova said "Well, obviously we've done well, we've reached a togetherness and awareness, in terms of how we play on the park, I really didn't expect to be put together this soon. Shame we got no points from the first two games of the season - the one hardly gained on the pitch against Compagnia delle Indie was later quashed by a somewhat controversial FA's decision -, but we got ourselves in a good position, one to build up on.
"I'm curious ahead of the games against Le Cafe, Amici di Berto, Borussia and Sampierdarena, however the biggest one must be the game against Compagnia delle Indie .
We need to perform against the strongest and better sides, and try to make the most of those six pointers against our high-flying rivals.
"Our group appears to be the toughest one, and it is also an unpredictable one as a consquence.
You face good sides, week in week out, so you may slip up when you don't expect it. On the other hand, a few teams may be considered to be overrated a little, it's a tough group to express clear judgements on, to be honest".
Asked about what the final and ultimate goal of his side should be this term, Matt replied:
"I only know that facts are more important than words, and that I'm not particularly keen to be on the trail of other teams for much longer, that is why we need to take advantage against the big guns and progress to the next stage"
