the red and white coach Federico Giampaolo he spoke in the press conference after the 1-1 draw against Pisa, in his first match as coach of the Galletti: “The goal conceded at the start? During the week we prepared the match convinced that they would use another formation, in the top ten minutes the team was unable to understand the situation well. Then we managed to play as we know, the performance was excellent with a perfect second half, they made only one offensive action in the thirty-third minute.”
Giampaolo continued: “We had three or four opportunities to take the lead, all we lacked was a goal and the draw was close to us. We have to create a winning mentality, with a few games to go we need to have clear ideas. We have players who are good in one against one and we need to make the most of them, at the same time we need balance when not in possession. This draw must give us confidence and self-esteem, the team pushed hard, this must be the mentality, we need to attack the opponent without fear.” .
On the work done during the week: “We arrived on tiptoe, I’m nobody and I don’t have the presumption of doing who knows what. We tried to convey serenity, we have to play football trying to bring the players to the maximum of their availability. L “The anxiety and tension is there, at the beginning the team was a little stuck, but little by little they freed themselves. In the second half we attacked with all our players. We have to play every game to the best of our ability.”
Still on the topic: “I always put myself in the players’ shoes. By changing so many coaches there are different football ideas and training methodologies, a bit of disorientation is normal. We tried to give serenity, today the boys gave everything. The key is that, when you have a group of professionals you have to go in and try to give them confidence and self-esteem. During the week I received positive feedback, the team was enthusiastic, we put everything we have into it the good of Bari is always better.” The coach spoke about the choice to start Brenno: “We opted for Brenno because he has always been the starting goalkeeper. Pissardo did very well in Como, we were a bit undecided, but at this point one is as good as the other. Whoever takes over can also be important to the cause.”
