Roberto De Zerbi admits any outsider would dismiss Benevento’s chances of staying up despite today’s 3-2 win over Crotone.
A late strike by new signing Cheick Diabate handed Le Streghe a third win of the season, finally moving their points tally into double figures.
However, they remain 11 points shy of Serie A safety, with De Zerbi attempting to play down his team’s hopes of avoiding the drop.

“I tell the players that I don’t look at either the table or the fixture schedule,” the former Palermo Coach said post-match
“But in order to increase hope you need to do it and I do.
“There will be different matches to today’s – for example the one with Inter next Saturday, where there will be less space.
“In the eyes of others, to say we believe might be incomprehensible. But we always go out looking for points.
“Mathematically we can still get the points we need. Our limitations are clear by the League table, but our attitude cannot ever be lacking.”
