The ex’s goal condemned the team to defeatHellas Verona. The inclusion of Zaccagni, rewarded by an assist from Luis Alberto, cost the Scaligeri fundamental points with a view to survival. After the final whistle, the Gialloblù coach spoke at the press conference Marco Baroni to comment on his boys’ performance against the Lazio:
“The responsibilities are mine. Some players have to find the best mental condition. The team played a good game, unfortunately, like last weekend, the changes had an impact. When a team like Lazio puts Zaccagni, Pedro, Vecino, Hysaj, Immobile you have to be at that height, at that level. They can score, but we conceded too much. In the first half, their chances came from our mistakes. However, we had some balls that we could have managed better The team, however, is there and is ready for this final.”
“SCORING GOALS WAS FUNDAMENTAL” – “Playing against a team with this dribble, with attacking midfielders who create superiority is not easy. It’s a shame, because by managing some balls better it could have gone better. We knew that we could have changed the set-up, because if Lazio brings you into the area they can score goals, so we decided to man up. You score goals on these pitches, you have to score too, you can’t think of coming here and getting points without scoring, even if we did well, taking a lot away from them the team did well, it’s a shame that we needed a different contribution in the second half. We were impressed by two or three situations in which we lost the ball at the exit, even when they start they are scary, when they steal the ball it’s worse.”
SEASON FINALE – “We don’t have to look at the standings, but face match after match and prepare the matches well, because in matches like tonight you can’t make mistakes. Why don’t we build from the bottom? It takes preparation, I don’t like putting the players in difficulty, so I prefer take this burden off them. When we have to do it we do it, but not starting from the goalkeeper, otherwise we would be in difficulty. Today we are disappointed with the result, but the performance gives us certainty in view of the next matches.
