The technician of Brescia, Rolando Maranspoke in the press conference at the end of the derby won by the Rondinelle against Cremonese 3-2, which took the team to third place, catching Sassuolo. Here are his words reported by Tifobrescia.it: “When you play against teams like Cremonese it is impossible to think of finishing the match without suffering. We still scored three goals, with great quality and sacrifice. Then all this full-field pressing took away from us energy and led us to lower the pace in the second half. We conceded two goals from set pieces, so we didn’t risk much.”
Then the coach talks about the tactical aspect: “There were several games in the same match: we were good at reading every part of the ninety minutes. Once Pisa was over I had already thought about playing with this formation, so offensive. The energy of the public made us carried away at all times: we fought together. We made everything available to the team: it was one of the best performances ever.”
On the singles: “Juric and Olzer no longer came back and so I removed them and not Borrelli. I didn’t know whether to go to five or not in the final, but I preferred to have greater control of the space. I didn’t expect Borrelli to be able to hold so well for so long. In set pieces he always helps us a lot. I asked him to play for the team without thinking about the goal: great performance and great goal.”
It’s impossible not to comment on the gem from the free kick: “Verreth scored a great goal: I see him in training and I know he can score goals from that position. He’s becoming more and more part of this team. 102 points with Brescia? It’s not an achievement, but only one stage. It is a source of great pride.”
