After the match at the U-Power Stadium, head coach Luca D’Angelo shared his thoughts on Spezia’s performance: “Defensively, we played a good game. Monza are a strong team, in a great moment of confidence, and their coach is very well-prepared. It was normal to suffer a bit, but that only really happened in the first half on a few corner situations. Overall, the team defended in an organized way.
We shouldn’t think we lost because of a single episode, we had more than half an hour to come back and couldn’t manage it. I don’t like blaming any one player, because we win and lose as a team.
As for the absences, those who started and those who came off the bench interpreted the game the right way, especially in terms of spirit. We fought to equalize until the end, and that’s shown by the fact that this was one of the hardest-fought matches Monza has played recently.
Sarr? After a match, it’s best not to say too much, everyone deals with disappointment in their own way, and I can relate to him. It’s a tough moment, but he’s a strong goalkeeper and a great guy.
The goalkeeping rotation? I said it at the start of the season, we have three goalkeepers, and all of them can play. Right now, that’s not the main concern. Our focus has to be on recovering energy and preparing well for Friday night’s match against Bari.
From a competitive standpoint and in terms of the will to get results, the team has always shown up. Against Padova, we deserved to win, and tonight, if we had taken a point, it wouldn’t have been undeserved, even though they played a better game than we did.
Compared to last season, there are several different factors, above all, the fact that we played three of the first five matches with ten men. Last year we were used to winning almost every game; now it’s tougher, and that’s taken a toll. That said, this is a unique league, and our situation can definitely change from here on.
Midfield absences? Today the team played a solid match, and blaming injuries would be wrong. With the players we have, I’m confident we can put in a good performance on Friday night".
