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

At the end of the match against Modena, coach Daniele De Rossi reached the press room of the "Mazza" Stadium to answer questions from the journalists present.

"This is a heavy defeat," the biancazzurro coach began, "because it is a derby and because we were coming from two losses. We wanted to pick ourselves up, but first of all I want to review the game because my hot memories are not only lucid. We played a good game in the first half and in the second half we kept possession of the game, however, we were not very aggressive and dangerous."

"In previous games we struggled to shoot. Today, however, in the opponent's area we got there, but too little to create danger for the opponents. The first person responsible is me, because it's up to me to put my players in a position to do more."

"The choice to replace Meccariello comes from the impression that after Diaw's red card there could also be a second one and since he was already cautioned I made this choice. The idea of Tunjov, on the other hand, was not born today: he for me is an incredible talent and I have to find him the best placement on the field, his cutting balls could be important solutions having on the field two players who are good in headers like La Mantia and Moncini, as well as a midfielder who can fit in well like Proia."

"Now we have to look ahead. We have a game on Thursday," Coach De Rossi concluded, "and we will immediately set about reviewing and analyzing the game. But I have to evaluate the performance and if after the game against Benevento I was really bitter, today instead I saw a team that lost, but still did it playing soccer."
