Roma Women, Spugna: “Lyon is prohibitive. But the result is worse than what the pitch said”

Unlucky evening for Roma Women, fell against Lyon within the friendly walls of ‘Tre Fontane’ in the match valid for the 3rd day of the Group Phase of the Women’s Champions League. At the end of the match, this was the comment from the club’s official channels Giallorossi coach Alessandro Spugna: “We knew it was a difficult match, but the defeat was heavier than what we saw on the pitch. The thing that I regret the most is that we conceded three goals that were not good. Of course, they are a really strong team, and today we had proof of this: physically and technically, they have ease in duels… However, we played a good match, especially on a defensive level. We managed to manage many of their attacks well. Then we conceded three goals due to our mistakes, and I’m sorry about that, but let’s give ourselves a performance with a lot of commitment, a lot of work on the pitch. This gives us hope.”

The focus now goes to the championship. Because, when the game resumes, there will immediately be the derby, which inaugurated the Women’s Serie A tournament. So here is his comment on match against Lazio: “Now we will need to recover our energy, the derby awaits us. It is a match that we particularly care about. But beyond everything, they are three fundamental points for us. We will have to recover our strength as best we can and we will have to think about some who didn’t take to the field today and who could perhaps be useful for the derby.”
