His Cremonese he had the strength to try to restart a match that seemed to have ended against Brescia, but it wasn’t enough: Giovanni Stroppa he will have to work with his team to understand what didn’t work in that first half in which 3 goals came from the opponents. At the end of the Rigamonti match, the coach spoke in the press conference: “In the first match we were light. Even if we had opportunities to hurt” – his words reported by Bresciaingol.com – “We lost all the duels. The difference was made by the high balls for the Brescia attackers, who handled them well. We hurt ourselves with the three goals we conceded. I’m sorry for the fans because we had to interpret the first half differently instead of absolute level”.
Now Cremonese must start again: “The response in the second half tells us that the team knows how to react. If the second half had gone along the lines of the first I would be here saying different things. It’s a shame not to have scored earlier in the second half when Brescia never got beyond halfway.”
We then talk about the struggle to score goals: “The last pass, the last dribble, the last shot were missing. Above all, the character aspect was missing. We were light and superficial near the door. If there isn’t the right attitude then it becomes difficult to get a result.”
Stroppa was then asked what changed at the end of the first half: “First of all I asked for balance so as not to concede the fourth goal, trying to score one straight away. Brescia from Serie A? Tonight’s performance says this. And also the ranking. We had the chance to go second, we were there, we didn’t succeed.”
