After the draw at Empoli, coach Luca D'Angelo spoke to the press room: "Is our championship starting today? The championship started three days ago, but today we certainly had a very good first half and could have created something more. At the start of the second half, we conceded a goal in which Popov was really smart, even though I don't know if he meant to put the ball there, but he managed it. Otherwise, in terms of performance, I think the team played very well, struggling only for a few minutes and coming out strong in the second half as well.
Popov's goal was unstoppable; the ball took a very peculiar trajectory; Mascardi couldn't do anything about it.
Empoli had done very well in the first two games, keeping control of the game even in Reggio Emilia until they were two men down, but today we did a great job of causing them problems.
After the equalizer, we created more chances, but on Artistico's shot, Fulignati did very well, going for it near the post, and on Di Serio's, the rebound came from a meter away. Everyone showed conviction, otherwise you wouldn't play a game like the one we played tonight. Kouda took a knock yesterday during the final training session and hadn't recovered from it today, while Candelari had a slight injury. In any case, we don't think the situation should be serious.
Wisniewski? The national team is a showcase and a source of pride for every player, but Wisniewski is always a key player, and today, as against Catanzaro, we saw the best defense of last season. We saw the defensive phase of last season, and I'm very satisfied with that".
