After the match, Sporting Director Stefano Melissano spoke to the press: “71% possession, 16 corners, 25 shots, it’s clear there’s frustration, and once the game is over, there’s not much else to do but feel the sting. But we have to stay united, because we all need to share the same goal and the same dream. Today, once again, we showed that we’re in it. Of course, there are games where things don’t go our way.
Chichizola? When a goalkeeper makes even half a mistake, it stands out more than missed chances up front. I believe he’s an excellent keeper, one of the best in the league. Last season, he was the starter for a team that dominated the campaign. I think our players need to be protected, the team needs composure, which is essential to achieving something that seemed unthinkable at the start of the season. This team has always performed, maybe with the exception of Bari and one half against Palermo, but otherwise, we’ve always shown our value, even when we didn’t take all three points.
We move on from today’s game and focus on Sampdoria next, playing as always with heart and soul.
We take it one match at a time. Of course, there are emotional highs and lows, but we have to manage them well. We believe in promotion, and as long as the math keeps us in it, we’ll keep pushing forward, match by match, with focus and the right mentality.
Our fans are a huge asset when we play at home, the energy they bring is incredible. Their support has never wavered. Today, they chose to enter later, but we can’t say we lost because of them. They’ve always been there for us, and when we have them behind us, instead of going 100 miles an hour, we go 110.
The priority after the match was talking to the team, because we have another big game coming up next Sunday that we need to approach at our best. The ownership change hasn’t altered our goals, what’s changed is the nature of the season. In the second half of the campaign, the competition levels out, regardless of the standings. Now, we need to give that little bit extra, to show the hunger that has defined us so far and that, even tonight, was never lacking".
