Roma Women, Spugna: “There is regret for the knockout, but 75 minutes of excellent quality against Lyon”

Roma Women can’t make it at Lyonwith the Giallorossi who, although leading by one goal, then fell 4-1. Heavy results for what was seen on the pitch, as confirmed by the Capitoline coach Alessandro Spugna to the club’s official channels: “We are very happy with these 75 minutes, because they were 75 minutes of great attention, of great application, of great courage. We managed the ball better than in the first leg, and this allowed us to limit the actions of Lyon, but above all to create something more. We developed an almost perfect action, which led to the goal. Then it is clear that they pushed, they created a lot from dead balls, like in the first leg dear. When they have so many centimeters in more, so many extra kilos, everything becomes difficult in the first half, and until the 75th minute, we managed the situation well.”

And he adds: “When you lose, there’s always a bit of regret. But let’s take away these 75 minutes played at an excellent level. They give us hope for the Wolfsburg match, because I think it will become decisive for the group.”

So let’s move on to the championship, with Roma Femminile committed against Sassuolo: “In the championship we must continue to score 3 points. Sassuolo achieved an excellent result in Biella against Juventus, and will therefore be motivated, excited. We must take these 75 minutes away We must not lower our heads, but raise them: we must arrive at Sassuolo with great motivation to achieve a great result and continue the chase.”
