The Monza coach Raffaele Palladino spoke to the microphones of DAZN after the 2-2 home draw against Lazio.
Good performance, with some overconfidence in the two goals conceded.
“We played a great match, both in terms of quality of play and in the non-possession phase. We went out to get them with courage and the team expressed themselves at their best from all points of view. Football is about courage, you have to having it and when there are these mistakes I don’t get angry. Beyond that, I liked everything about the team. We created a lot in the first half and in the second we got back into the game, anyone could get down and in the end. we have resumed again. There is regret, we deserved more.”
Is conceding a goal in the first 20 minutes a question of approach?
“Many times we have gone behind, then it is not easy. When we have taken the lead, we have never lost. This is part of the seasons, I want to focus on the positive aspects of the team which are many. Today, against a team with great players and eager to score points, I think it was one of our best matches.”
Only in Colpani and Pessina do you leave freedom.
“Yes, I leave a lot of freedom but in reality I do it with everyone. Our game is made up of rotations and occupation of space. The team must play and find the free man. I leave a lot of choice to everyone, for me football is also freedom There are players who also give you solutions and make our work easier.”
When did you think that the match could be brought home?
“After the first 5 minutes, I was sure that the boys would play a great game. You can go down, but you could see that the team was there. You could see that they wanted to get a result, even those who came on did well beyond of the error on the goal. Finding ourselves at 2-1 for Lazio was incredible, the boys deserved this satisfaction.”
What did you say to each other before the match with Galliani?
“There is a great relationship with the doctor, he respects me and I love him as a manager. He gives me a lot of advice, I always learn from him. He is great in everything he does, we just have to learn from his side “.
Did he tell you it’s time to take flight?
“I’ll talk about it with him at the end of the season, now we want to end the championship in the best possible way. The boys deserve it, my discussions take a back seat. I’m very ambitious, but there will be time to talk about it.”
