Davide Ballardini, after the 1-5 draw against Bologna, is merciless. “There was no game today, Bologna were superior in their attitude and in playing the game. It was a lesson in play and seriousness. We have been humiliated. It is right that at the end of the season Cremonese relegate to Serie B. Punto. If you don’t show certain reasons, then… We had all the qualities to be able to try to stay in Serie A while today we showed that we deserve to be relegated to Serie B. The players struggled more than Bologna who enjoyed playing: we weren’t in good shape, it was a game lesson and the first to have suffered this lesson is the coach”.

Humility

Taking up the word “humiliation”, Ballardini wants to go deeper. “You have to be grateful to the fans, and it’s clear that after a match like this they boo – continues the coach -. La Cremonese wasn’t there. I repeat: we were humiliated but this has nothing to do with the commitment. Seen today, it’s right to be rejected, clearer than that… The discourse of seriousness? I mean you have to have another attitude, you have a duty to be more humble, sometimes you think you’re better. My future? I’m not interested in one pipe and I don’t think the others are either: now we know which direction is right or not”.
