From the press room of the Carlo Castellani stadium in Empoli, here is the press conference of the Empoli footballer Mattia De Sciglio.
What is the analysis of this match?
“The first half we held the pitch well, even creating some nice counterattacks. Then in the second half, as the coach said, we could have done more on a couple of occasions. Without taking anything for granted, because we can’t afford to give anything away”
Now you think it’s your turn?
“I hope so, I really want to play, but as I told the coach I give my availability and he makes the choices. The group deserves a lot, we are working well and even if we left a little something in the last few matches we are doing well”
How do you rate the red in Goglichidze?
“There’s not much to say, it’s normal for him to be the first to be displeased. It wasn’t an intentional foul, he made the move but the rules say it was red. They can happen, at the same time it shouldn’t become an alibi being left with ten men. As I said earlier, we could have done better on a couple of goals”
The margins for growth for you and the team?
“There is room for growth, we perhaps collect less than what we create in the implementation phase. We can improve a lot on this. As for me, I am convinced that if I play with more continuity and if I am better in terms of conditions, I hope to to be able to give my contribution to the team”
How were these first times in Empoli?
“I perceived the importance that was given to me here, being seen as a point of reference for the experience I have. I am very happy”
