Sassuolo, Ballardini: “The only way to stave off the Serie B nightmare is to attack the situation”

Bad evening for Sassuolo and their coach Davide Ballardini. In the analysis in the press conference after the 5-1 defeat suffered on the Fiorentina pitch, the Neroverde coach tries to outline a point on the technical, mental and emotional state of form of his group: “I agree that it’s a bad impression, I know also that we have guys who care a lot about us. The moment probably weighs on them so much that they struggle to express what they really want to give. We need to have another attention, another attitude and another determination. We can also defend ourselves Fiorentina has quality, but in your half of the pitch you have to be more aggressive and not suffer it passively like tonight.”

How to avoid the Serie B nightmare?
“The only way is to attack this situation all together. With training sessions in which you know that you have to wage war, with your weapons. But you have to do it, sportingly speaking. You have to have a fury that allows you to overcome the bad and difficult moment. As a team and with quality.”
