Benevento’s streak of consecutive useful results ends at four, narrowly beaten at home by Giugliano. A defeat that hurts, especially because it occurred at the halfway point of the championship and because it allows the direct pursuers to close the gap in the standings. Disappointed, but confident, captain Filippo Berra analyzed the knockout on the microphones of Eight Pagesexplaining what happened.
“The first defeat at home, our opponents only made one shot and we find ourselves with a defeat.” The goal conceded due to a double naivety: “I think the replacement was ready – says Berra – they beat quickly. We’ll work on it, but it’s the only shot on goal they had.” What happened in Oukhadda? “He had a problem with his calf, he asked for a change”. What mistake did Benevento make on this bad evening? “The only mistake is that we had too much desire to win.
We conceded a goal from an inactive ball, but we were the only ones who played the game. We must move forward thinking about ourselves without looking at others.” In the end, the Capoitano also tried to undermine the wall erected by Giugliano: “I tried, that’s how it went. But I remain positive because we played a good match. We have strong players in all roles, we can all play, but the choices are up to the coach.” The Giallorossi captain would like to get on the pitch straight away: “Let’s start from the end with our fantastic fans and go and play a great match in Cava”, he concluded.
