Brescia - SPAL, post-match statements from coach De Rossi

At the end of the match against Brescia, coach Daniele De Rossi answered the questions of the journalists present in the press room of the "Rigamonti" Stadium as follows.

"We did not get worse," said the biancazzurro coach, "compared to the game against Benevento. Today I think the starters played a good game and I have to be the one to help them find the best choices in the last 20 meters. In the first half we came close to their penalty area a few times, while in the second half we appeared more times in that area, but we were not dangerous and I think we need to be more dangerous."

"The fact that we had 70 percent possession of the ball," continued Coach De Rossi, "gives an idea of how much game we grinded out, but in the end the numbers mean little, also because I think Brescia decided to let us have that much possession. The important thing is what you are able to create when you have the ball, because even 30 percent can win you games. I think in the second half the team from the point of view of intensity, plays and the emotional aspect the boys played a good game, while in the first half we had to be more aggressive and we paid for that."

"I keep thanking my guys for what they do," said the spallino coach, "and because they prove to me every day their seriousness and professionalism, but it's not enough, we all need to do more. I see that the team always puts their heart into giving everything, so I think I am the one who has to do more for them."

"Serie B is a tough league," concluded Coach De Rossi, "and matches like today's we will still encounter many more. We have to continue to play with our ideas, trying to be more dangerous in the last part of the field. Brescia played exactly as we expected they would play, they are a physical team that works a lot on duels and today they won more than us."
