“I got angry because in the second half it seemed like a mess and there wasn’t much play. The ball boys were away from the pitch, the referee whistled a lot of fouls. In a situation like that we conceded a goal and I complained. Objectively it wasn’t a good game, the pitch was dry and this didn’t allow us to dribble like we did on many other occasions. It was a tough Monza, it would have been bad to go home with a defeat due to a Eurogoal in the 92nd minute It’s true that the penalty episode was fortuitous, however we immediately threw ourselves forward and therefore went looking for it with determination. I would like to point out that we faced a strong opponent, with quality people and a warm stadium that pushed us from the very first minutes.” These are the statements of the Monza defender Samuele Birindelli to DAZN.
Birindelli talks about his role and then looks forward to the final days of the championship: “In my career I have almost always played in a four-man defense and, therefore, in this period I am getting better and better. However, modern football requires the ability to adapt to the opponents and to change skin in case of need. I have to thank the coach who taught me many things and gave me valuable advice. The future? It’s not up to me to say how strong Lazio is, I must say that Mister Tudor gives me the idea of a tough coach, always on point, good at transmitting great energy to his teams. My father played there in his Juventus days, at least I’ll ask him for some advice.”
