Roberto D’Aversa he leaves Parma, which was his city for four years and which he faced today for the first time as an opponent, with one point. His Empoli drew with Fabio Pecchia’s team and at the end of the match the former Lecce coach commented on the challenge as a former player in the press conference like this: “Four years here, with my family, are not easily forgotten. There are many people who have remained connected, I have friends in the city too, it’s nice to come back here. It’s the first time as an opponent but I will never be an enemy.”
Did you disappear a bit in the second half?
“Yes, I’ll ask the boys why. It’s true that when you have 4 players who play even if they’re not in good condition, namely Grassi, Viti and Ismaijli, it’s normal that they could have dropped. However, I think the regret is after the first half, we had to The team entered the second half not very well, even though we knew we could go down, with u. As long as we play we can cause problems for anyone, like today against Napoli, but we need to improve in managing situations protest, to at least raise doubt.”
So is there any bitterness about the result?
I’m satisfied with the result, but as with Napoli and Lazio after conceding a goal, which can happen, we have a few minutes of skid. After the goal conceded we gave away the space and with the penalty we could have thrown the game away. We have to keep playing, in the second half we stopped too early, without even waiting for the right physical decline.”
