The Crotone coach Emilio Longo he thus analyses today’s 2-0 victory against Messina in the press room: “A decent match, it wasn’t excellent – he began -. I have to understand the motivations because after the lead we don’t have the same courage to continue doing what we’re doing, it’s a defect that needs to be corrected. I liked the spirit of sacrifice, I congratulate the entire team because they sacrificed a lot. It’s clear from a mile away that we need to increase our awareness but I’m satisfied because we needed an injection of confidence. We need to continue working hard, the road is still long”.
Longo then continued: “The result makes a lot of difference, yet some data are lower than the defeat against Trapani – he added -. Today we were generally on par in the data, we were better in some situations but not dominant. We must demolish the others, with identity and not with presumption. We cannot score and then turn off. We must not shirk responsibility when we are in possession. The staff’s job is to make every player important, they believe in it and know that growth happens through the pitch. I will change the eleven very often, I hope that the competition during the week is always this beautiful. I want to have doubts until the last moment, that way we become an important group”.
