REGRET – “Aside from the defeat, I’m sorry for the way we conceded the goals. They are a strong team, but we didn’t concede much. We took a one-two too easily and then had difficulty coming back in the second half. The third was a great naivety, they prepared many situations from set pieces. The first thing I called to the boys: watch out for them. The third goal cut our legs a little.”
NAIVETY – “When you see the matches, evaluate the things that went well and those that went badly. Today must serve as a lesson for us, next week we must prepare well for the match against Cremonese which is a direct clash and we cannot afford lapses, especially with a team with high level characteristics like Como”.
PERFORMANCE – “We prepared the match based on what Como did in the last few matches. Obviously with Rodriguez on the pitch it was systematic for them to then play with a 4-2-3-1. We ran into difficulty on the right, on Siebert’s climbs. It’s a shame for the goals on a situation to escape deep. The third goal from a free kick instead we had raised our attention so much, we couldn’t concede a goal. That’s what determined the final result. Then the choices are always made based on creating difficulties for the opponents, then maybe they took countermeasures and we were less good at interpreting climbs. Como has very high quality players, it has a strong identity, it goes beyond the game systems. We did too little in the central part of the first half, so let’s reset the match, I want to see a precise attitude with Cremonese. Less respect for those with quality and more combativeness”.
CHOICES – “The attacker was Cheddira, not Gandelman. He was a midfielder who came in. However, the responsibilities are mine alone, now let’s start again, let’s look for a match plan to get an important result”.
COMO – “I believe that the closer you bring Como to the penalty area, the more chances you give them to score. We misread the runs and the climbs, on the first goal we had to go man for man on Douvikas. Como not only has dribble, but when recovering the ball they have the ability to go vertical. They have more solutions and it hurts you if you are not at your maximum attention and performance. We have paid handsomely for our inattentions.”
