SPAL - Modena, the comment of technical director Lupo

At the end of the match against Modena, director of the technical area Fabio Lupo joined journalists present at the press room of the "Mazza" Stadium.

"Talking about the market today is not appropriate. I still believe that nothing should be overturned, - began the biancazzurro manager - but tweaking by pandering to the coach's requests based on what we are seeing at the moment. However, we must be careful and lucid in the general analysis, without being too conditioned by the situation because the roster is good, it is clear that some problems are there, but it is not all to be thrown away."

"Right now we are looking for a tactical identity that will allow us to have balance in the offensive and defensive phases, and today I found a team that gave important signs. If after the 3-1 they immediately threw themselves back forward, it means that this team has something inside. We need to have the serenity to restart while doing some severe self-criticism and at the end of the first half of the season figure out what can be done to further improve the roster."

"My evaluations are never individual but overall. This roster is definitely giving less than it could do and the first culprit is me, but I continue to believe in this team. Today everyone has to take responsibility, without throwing away everything we saw. I was more worried after Brescia, because today in the first 20 minutes we could have scored three goals and, as I said, even after the third goal we reacted. It means that there were positive signs, and we have to be calm in restarting precisely from those."

"The choice of De Rossi," concluded technical director Lupo, " comes from evaluations involving many aspects, from the technical-tactical to the human, and his position is absolutely not in question. I believe that in this moment we all need to understand that in Serie B it is necessary to be "ugly, dirty and bad," and today I saw a signal in this direction. If we understand this, as there are qualities there, we will be able to return to results soon."
