At the end of the match at the U-Power Stadium the coach of Frosinone Eusebius By Francesco commented to DAZN the important victory obtained by the Canaries against Monza:
“We had a very good impact on the match, we immediately looked for the goal and we found it, we also had other opportunities to close it out. If we have to find the negative side in this match it is that we could have closed it earlier. In the first half we didn’t concede nothing, then at the end there was Colpani’s post which shows that in football it takes nothing to reopen a match. I believe that between the approach, the preparation, and the tactical attention that the boys put in, it was an excellent race.”
Did you insist more on the technical or emotional aspects in preparing for this race?
“The footballer, like the coach, lives of passion, he must have heart, especially to reach certain levels. Obviously for our work it is also important to achieve objectives and results. Carrot and stick with Soulé? Much more carrot because at the I always make him play. He needs to be constantly stimulated, sometimes even stopped, because he is exuberant, he always wants the ball and is constantly moving, he needs to learn to be a little more tidy but he is growing a lot. , he doesn’t play just for himself but for the team, he helps his teammates and is always involved in the game. He is maturing a lot and I am convinced that, after he saves us in this very important last match, he will be able to reach other goals.”
Udinese equalized at the last second:
“We knew we needed 4 points in these two matches, if we managed to win the next one too it would be even better, but the objective is survival. It’s obvious that if you think about playing a match to draw the risk becomes great, even In this you have to play an intelligent game.”
The attitude changed in the second part of the season. Would you have liked to fix something sooner?
“No, because these guys have made a journey, in growth you also go through defeats. There was a period in which I had no defenders; we signed Bonifazi who was injured after the first match… To make adjustments you also have to having a certain type of players. Beyond that, this team has never lost its identity, its desire to score. If we analyze today’s match, we conceded little and created many opportunities a little more cynical and concrete up front, we’ve lost this a bit but we’ve gained solidity at the back, I still think there’s no point in looking back.”
How will you experience the wait for the last race?
“With great pride, and being convinced to prepare it as we prepared this one. The same mentality and the same serenity will be needed. We will have to be, not just perfect, but excellent in preparing for this match.”
On Cagliari and Sassuolo:
“I’m happy for the salvation of Cagliari, I had a slightly different experience there but with great human relationships. I have my heart in Sassuolo, for what we created and achieved. I’m very sorry for the family I have found in those five years. It’s a shame but it’s part of football, for me the strength will be useful now, in knowing how to get back up after the defeat. If it is saved we will say it at the end of the match against Udinese convinced that we have the right attitudes to achieve this result, we are optimistic.”
