At the triple whistle of the challenge at the Picco, Eagles' coach Leonardo Semplici commented on his team's performance as follows: "On the part of the boys there was a lot of tension, they felt too much the value of this match, in the first half we failed to develop what we tried, there was little movement and we made many technical mistakes. At halftime I tried to charge the boys, explaining to them that it was yes an important match, but not a decisive one, to release the tension and push hard on the accelerator.
In the second half we saw a whole different team, we had an extraordinary second half, in terms of play, chances, aggressiveness and determination. Clearly I would have liked to win, but it is still a point that allows us to advance in the standings.
It's up to me to work on the boys' self-esteem, an aspect that perhaps was missing in some players when I arrived; we have to believe in our means, which are important, and try to express all our values. We didn't win, but in the meantime we didn't take goals, this is another positive aspect and I want the team to restart from the second half, because we will always have to play our game.
I thank our fans, who gave us a beautiful welcome, with them there is a beautiful relationship, an important union that will have to drag us towards the final goal.
Zurkowski is now in good condition, he entered well, as well as the others, Kovalenko, Maldini, Shomurodov. This has to be our strength, everyone has to contribute, some from the beginning and some in the game. The important thing is to amalgamate the group, even with the new signings to be able to develop the team's automatisms in the best possible way.
I want to give confidence to my boys, in this aspect there is a need to work, particularly in the mental aspect. I want the team not to be afraid to try driblling or finishing, we have the qualities to do well and we have to be convinced of that. I told the boys not to worry: defeats will always be my fault, victories their merit, so they have to leave the negative tension in the locker room and have a clear head to play with courage and determination, even risking a few more plays.
I'm not focusing on the calendar, I'm reasoning game by game, now I'm only thinking about Inter, the game ahead of us, the games are all to be played and we always start from 0-0, at this moment our future depends only on us and so it's right not to be focusing on the results of other teams."
