How do you feel after this match?
“There are many emotions after a match like this. I think the team played a great match. I mean all the contents that the match includes, it's not just the play, it's the spirit, the solidarity on the pitch, never giving up. The team did everything right. This type of performance, despite the difficulties, despite the opponent, if it had been rewarded with a positive result it would have been the icing on the cake. Unfortunately, this is not the case, now we have to get over it team, I said that I'm proud of everyone, because they gave more than 100%.
The episodes had an impact…
“If Marusic hadn't scored, we wouldn't have noticed the previous header, football is made with hindsight. But these things take second place. The team was emotional, it conveyed more than something. If Kaba or If Pierotti had found the tap-in, what would we have said? We have to look at the attitude we had. With ten against eleven it's not easy, with Pierotti as a full-back, Morente as a full-back. I'm deeply sorry, it's one of the most bad defeats in my career.”
Pierret central defender?
“I liked him in defence, he has personality and knows how to play. He's clearly not a defender, but he makes up for it with football intelligence. He doesn't throw the ball away, he always cleans it up, he's also good in the air. I didn't start him straight away. of the second half, I wanted to keep the game open and the boys were good. Pierret is a forced solution but in an emergency he is the only player who can fill that role.”
