At the end of the match in Reggio Emilia, Spezia captain Petko Hristov shared his thoughts: “We dominated the first half, but on our first mistake, they punished us. Then in the second half, we didn’t play well at all. What was missing today was the right mentality, we should’ve closed out the game and taken all three points.
Today’s loss was purely mental, not physical. We didn’t show the usual desire to win or to turn the game around.
This isn’t the time for controversy. We need to stay focused, finish the regular season strong, lock in third place, and prepare ourselves for the playoffs.
Now we face Cremonese, it’s going to be a tough game between third and fourth place, but I believe it will be a completely different match compared to today. We’ll be playing at home, and I’m confident we’ll bounce back.
In recent matches, we’ve come up against very deep defensive lines. When the opposition’s forwards drop back, we need to push higher with our marking, and we haven’t always managed to do that. Today, we lacked the collective defensive effort of all eleven players, that’s usually one of our strengths".
