The coach: “We’re good in defense but not very incisive going forward”
With Zanetti disqualifiedspeaking in the press conference after the match against Milan at Verona is the deputy Alberto Bertoliniwho replaced him on the bench.
“The marking on Pulisic? On the corner we make a mixed zone and we had to decide who to mark and we chose Loftus-Cheek and Pavlovic. So when you make this choice, you have to be more aggressive in the castle. We were shocked, sorry. Milan had created the minimum in the first half. In the second half, a somewhat controversial penalty, a penalty, so everything was more complicated” – Bertolini then added to Dazn on the penalty: “We respect the decision, but there are many episodes like this”
The attackers? We wanted to do well, we tried to change. We were good at not going too far.
Never shot on goal? We had a good phase without possession, but were not incisive up front and created little. In 10 minutes the penalty and the 3-0 goal arrived which we were naive about. We have to look forward.
PSG style kick-off? We’ve done it other times too. It is an indication that we give to immediately press high, rather than throwing the ball forward with the long kick. It’s a bit of a psychological choice.”
