These are Paolo Vanoli’s statements released after Venezia-Feralpisalò: “I first thought about the post-Catanzaro words, I was asked about Sverko, had I changed Svoboda he wouldn’t have done what he then did (laughs ed.). I had to change something, we had to win these matches and we spent a lot, especially in Catanzaro, the changes were also made based on that. It was time to give Jajalo rhythm again even from the start, which is different than when you enter. Tessmann did practically all the races so I gave him some breathing room. Lella had played a good game, I wanted to give him continuity. Then the substitutions serve to change the matches and therefore I kept some players for that too, these guys threw their hearts over the obstacle, then unfortunately when we meet teams with a low block we are a bit slow in the hole and we lack a a little one on one. The next battle will be another one, we will go into battle against a Spezia who wants to save himself and we will see what will happen: destiny is in Como’s hands. With the low line in front we go into the comfort zone, we have to play further inside. Many times Altare had important holes when he got up, Lella asked him to attack more from behind because they played man-to-man, so Pohjanpalo had to go between the lines and create the hole that needs to be attacked. When these things happen here I get a little nervous but I also understand the kids. We have to grow, we conceded goals and went back to doing incredible things, we had to continue after Joel’s goal and this is the mentality. So congratulations but we know we can still take a little step. Altare had a hint of cramps and Felici often bet so I preferred to change. Gytkjaer and Pohjanpalo? I am convinced that this agreement could have arrived, with the two of them we sometimes have little depth and this can penalize us, especially in some situations, after the goal we conceded I put Pierini behind the two of them because on those occasions he could attack from behind and we became more dangerous. Sometimes we didn’t succeed due to tiredness, other times due to slightly incorrect timing. In the first half they gave us a little little, there are lines that we need to learn to know, then Pierini was able to give us depth. Svoboda was very good and clear-headed, in his place I would have closed my eyes and shot. I’ve always told Svoboda that he’s missing one last step, because he has vision, he’s fantastic at playing as a three, he has to complete his journey as a defender. In some situations he is still a little sluggish, there is a change in mentality, but in the end he was good. Jorone? It wasn’t a question of clearance, it was something we had tried because the Feralpi was lowered and therefore he could send the ball to some points. I want this, between the posts he is very strong, his vision can improve, in this second part he has made a lot of progress, but we could have gone on a direct attack with more men”.
