At the end of the match against Roma, coach Leonardo Semplici spoke to the post-match microphones, "There is regret, because we knew we were coming here to play against a very strong team, so the fact that we went ahead and kept the game balanced until the end makes me proud of my boys. I'm sorry for taking that goal before the end of the first half, then we came back into the game well, held well and almost did the doubling goal, then the penalty in the final forced us into the tiebreaker.
From Tuesday we will prepare ourselves in the best possible way, even today unfortunately we had to deal with many absences, but even tonight those who took the field showed that they deserve this category. The team really gave everything, we arrived at the end of this season a little short with the roster, it's a pity because with the full squad there would have been a chance to manage the matches better, because even tonight I had several injured players on the bench, but I repeat, the attitude of the team gives me hope for the playoff.
Certainly there have been matches in which the result should have been different, because of the performance made and the values put on the field. But these are speeches that are of no use right now, now only the result counts. We will go out to play confident, we will try to express the qualities of these boys at their best, who in my opinion tonight showed that they deserve salvation.
In the last matches the team, excluding against Torino, has always played, in all aspects, from performance to character. We will have to prepare ourselves as well as possible mentally, there is disappointment tonight because with a draw now we would be celebrating, now it will be necessary, however, to disconnect for a day and lower ourselves again from Tuesday in the playoff optics.
My wish is to recover some players, although it will not be easy. We will count the available players during the week and we will try to field the best eleven that will be able to face this challenge, which is of fundamental importance for our path. We are confident and charged up to play it all the way."
