At the end of the Frosinone-Pisa match which ended 3-0 in favor of the Tuscans, the canary coach spoke in the press room of the Benito Stirpe Vincenzo Vivarini . These are his words:
Mister, shocking match. Seen few things, why?
“It’s simple, they were games at the beginning of the year so it’s easy to understand why. There was a total lack of character and attitude. We played a very bland game, we lost all the duels and second balls. We tried to do what we had to do but we gave gifts to a team with clear ideas and physically ready. We suffered the second balls, bad game”
Did you expect to be so far behind a competitor?
“This match was like this, if we look at the friendlies the indications were different. Today’s indications give us lifeblood to face the next one in the best way, we have highlighted these things well. In B you can’t not win tackles and second balls. We have to grow a lot and understand the opponents we will have to face. We tried to have control of the game but we were wandering around the field too much and we lost the references to attack the ball again. Many issues to analyze, we quickly have to understand why the championship starts now. We can’t think we have everything sorted, we still have a lot of work to do.
Citizens? He took a blow to the knee and had a problem there. He has a bit of laxity in the knee, we hope to recover him but it is unlikely that we will have him for Sunday. We are in difficulty having also Lusuardi and Kalaj out. We have to recover a bit of all those we have out, in the middle of the field we played with a 2005 and a 2006 who played their game but from a physical point of view we suffered him. We gave away two goals, we did what we shouldn’t have done.”
Team in emergency, many absences. Compared to yesterday, do you have something clearer to ask the market?
“No, things are very clear, the squad needs to be completed and the club knows it. The market closes at the end of August, unfortunately we have to be patient. Darboe has arrived and we are fixing something but then the injuries are creating difficulties for us. First Begic, now Cittadini. At the moment we are having difficulties.”
Mister few good things up front. With Pecorino slightly better…
“I would say disorganized because they never looked for each other, they never looked for combinations and they never attacked the depth. We found an opponent who worked man by man and we needed great awareness of what to do. We were not ready to do this at the moment and it showed up going forward. I liked Pecorino from a character point of view, something I didn’t like in the rest of the team. This aspect must come out from everyone because we know that in B all the games are hard-fought”
