At the triple whistle of the match at the Gewiss Stadium, the Eagles coach Leonardo Semplici spoke in the post-match press conference: “Today we were facing a great team, who were doing very well, who punched us in the very first shot with a great Eurogoal. In the second half, we conceded two goals from dead-ball clearances and we should have done better there, but the reaction wasn't lacking and we showed that this team is alive.
The team proposed play and created several chances, the substitutions gave us a hand, but I saw a Spezia who was eager and convinced they could grab the draw and I think that in the end, the double chance, first with Verde and then with Shomurodov, really brought it one step away from parity.
I congratulated the lads, because coming to play with this personality and this determination on a pitch like this is absolutely a pleasure. It's a shame not to go home with some points, but the performance is what I asked of the team.
I'm very happy for Gyasi, because he's always been an exemplary captain, it's clear that when you go through difficult times, you're welcome to receive criticism. Today, despite the warning, he played a great match, topped off with a beautiful goal, so we are confident that he can continue to score in the next matches. He best represents our mentality, which wants this team to believe in us and fight until the end.
I hope to recover Nzola, but also Zurkowski for this salvation race, even if I have to say that tonight whoever entered the field showed that they deserved a place. The message we have launched in this season finale is that we believe in it and that we will not back down for any reason.
Green's entry into the field was fundamental, just like when he entered Genoa against Sampdoria. He's a boy with important qualities that can make the difference for us, but we have to manage him and I'm convinced he'll be able to help us for the last five decisive races".
