The Südtirol coach, Marco Zaffaroni, he spoke at a press conference following the match against Spezia. These are his statements, taken from La Gazzetta della Spezia: “We were playing against the best team in the championship, built to win. The match went badly despite an initial part of the first half in which we fought. They are very strong physically, dominant both in duels and in second balls. They are a team structured for this. We shouldn’t have taken the second goal at that moment. In the second half we tried to do something different but we couldn’t.
An experience that must be useful to us because we have found a strong team. Sassuolo and Spezia play differently. Sassuolo phrases more and we have limited the dribbling, while Spezia verticalizes, plays on attackers who are good at protecting. Difficult match against Spezia due to our characteristics, it was more the behavior of the opponents. We knew the team at this time. is the fittest, the regret is that at the beginning we had an approach tainted by some mistakes that gave them confidence and took it away from us. This is the aspect we need to improve on, we created the trust and it’s not good.”
