The words of the Gialloblu coach, who spoke after the final whistle of the match directly from the press room of the Tardini stadium
In eleven against nine the Parma loses against Lazio at home. At the end of the match the Gialloblu coach spoke at the press conference Carlos Cuesta. These are his words.
How much responsibility does Parma have?
“We are truly sorry, it was not the result we wanted. We failed to exploit our numerical superiority. With a sporadic event they found the goal and we didn’t react“.
“We wanted to do more, we were in the opponent’s half of the pitch, creating plays to have more space, forcing dead balls. We are not used to finding these situations but we have to do better and analyze to improve. We feel sorry for the fans and for us“.
Defeat that can leave its mark?
“No, I’m not afraid. We have had a lot of difficulties and the team’s reaction has always been the same: looking forward, but also looking back to understand what to do better. I’m sure we will react“.
The offensive wingers didn’t work well.
“They played in a more internal position and managed to give us progression and scoring situations. With Lazio being more compact it was difficult to create. I don’t know if we had problems on the external areas, I know that we had problems in the central area“.
Didn’t the crosses take away the unpredictability?
“The intention was to turn the ball over and find spaces inside, both with individual plays and with through balls. But it’s not easy against teams that defend well. When you can’t get it in, the game forces you to get it out. That wasn’t our priority, it was done because the players felt it was the solution. Have we done it precisely and sufficiently? No. We have to improve“.
Bernabé he seemed out of the game.
“In my opinion it was a balanced game in the first half, where they created from dead ball situations. In the second half we weren’t able to create but it’s not an individual issue, but a matter of everyone’s clarity. Football also has different moments and days, today was a tough day, where I don’t doubt the attitude but we weren’t able to do what we wanted“.
At times a good Parma, but the final touch is missing. Problem with the goal?
“At the beginning of the season there was more, we did better every time. We are improving, it is a point of focus but we cannot forget the situations we have experienced. Beyond that, we know where we need to improve and we need to speed up the process“.
