The first real debacle of the Venice. Yes, because it is true that the one matured with Milan it’s the third defeat in four games, but it’s the first in which the team completely sinks and melts at the first negative episode. At San Siro it ends 4-0 for the home team and everything happens in the first 29 minutes: too short a time span to suffer a poker. It’s certainly also Joronen’s fault, the worst on the pitch, author of more than one blunder, but in general it’s the whole team that struggles to function.
And in fact Eusebio Di Francesco got angry in the post-match: “We were naive in several situations, we scored several goals ourselves. The second goal cut our legs off, there are no excuses. We gave the impression of great fragility, the team also tried to play but when you suffer with this ease and we also help them it becomes tough. When your head is no longer there you have to have the strength to stay in the game. Maybe I have doubts about the first penalty, but it is not an excuse that can justify the final result”.
