Forlì's Campedelli on San Benedetto Match: "A Fiery Atmosphere, It Will Be a Good Test"

Forlì will make their away debut this Sunday evening at 9 PM, visiting Sambenedettese at the 'Riviera delle Palme' stadium in San Benedetto del Tronto. This opening fixture presents a tough challenge for the Biancorossi, who are set to play against a club with a rich history and who narrowly avoided relegation last season. Manager Nicola Campedelli will be absent from the bench due to a suspension from last season's Primavera 1 championship.

Regarding team news, the coach provided an update on player availability: "The team is working well and continuing its development. Unfortunately, Palomba and Attasi are out and will rejoin the group next week," as reported by Forlì Today. "Martelli will not be available, and we need to assess his recovery time, while Mattioli is back from the infirmary."

Campedelli acknowledges the strength of the opponent: "We know we are facing a club with immense enthusiasm, a passionate and large crowd, and a squad filled with experienced players. It will be a significant test where we'll need a lot of humility and hunger to achieve a positive result." However, he remains optimistic about his team: "It would be important to start on the right foot. We believe in ourselves because this is a valuable squad. We will need to manage the environmental factor without being overwhelmed by it, and instead, use it to our advantage to deliver a strong performance."

The starting lineup is still under consideration, with the coach reserving final decisions for a few more hours: "In these early games, we need to figure out the best setup to perform at our peak. We are also evaluating the return of Onofri, who isn't at 100% but has been training, so we're assessing all options."

On the topic of transfers, Campedelli concluded: "The club is monitoring the situation, and we will see if it's appropriate to bring in new players."
