PRESS ROOM | Pisacane after Pisa-Cagliari

Rossoblù coach Fabio Pisacane spoke to the media after the match, and these are his statements:

ANALYSIS OF THE MOMENT
“Today, without a doubt, we must emphasize our poor attitude and lack of hunger. Typically, we’ve always been fierce and never given up; today, however, like against Genoa and Lecce, we made mistakes and we all have to admit our guilt. It’s also true that incidents aren’t helping us right now: we conceded a penalty that looked more like it was outside the box than inside, we hit the crossbar that would have immediately leveled the score, and we conceded after a poor clearance. It’s not a fortunate period, but I won’t dwell on that: let’s focus on moving forward with clarity. It would be a shame to lose our way now at the most important moment.”

REACT IMMEDIATELY
“Lack of momentum after Durosinmi’s red card? We got lost in negativity, so it’s not easy to clearly analyze what went wrong in the heat of the moment. I’ll wait and see what happens next. It’s definitely another missed opportunity to get closer to our goal, another poor match when we could have gotten closer to staying up. We all need to stay clear-headed and work hard because we’ve done well so far, and we can’t let ourselves get lost now. That’s football; it often deceives you. Let’s get back to work because we play against Napoli on Friday, and we need to get back on our feet immediately.”

CORRECT ERRORS
After half-time, we tried to make some changes to be more offensive, especially on the right. It didn’t work. Mina came off for technical reasons, no physical problems, but he’s an important player who has made a fundamental contribution to this team in recent years, helping us achieve a goal we want to achieve again this year. I don’t want to protect the group or act like a fireman. It’s not going well for us, but we’re putting in the effort. If we’d repeated the performance against Como, we’d be talking about something else today. We’re all responsible, there’s no need to mince words. Albarracin? He could have given us energy in the final third of the pitch, it wasn’t easy to come on in a game like that. We know what he can give us and his qualities, even for the future, which we’re working on like with other players. A chance of staying up? I don’t know and I don’t care. I’m interested in understanding what we did wrong today and being able to correct them all together.

FOCUS ON THE GOAL
Absences aren’t excuses, and we shouldn’t emphasize them. I wouldn’t be consistent with what I’ve said so far. In three direct clashes, we’ve fallen short in terms of our attitude, and that’s disappointing. This needs to be analyzed. We were coming off an excellent performance against Como, and today we weren’t up to par. We can’t afford to make a mistake with our attitude, because a team like ours loses a lot and has shown we can do much better. Right now, things are definitely not going well for us, unlike in the past. We’re all responsible, and we all need to stay clear-headed. This team knows, and has always known, that it could go through difficult times in the race for survival. Now we’re getting closer to the key moment, and we can’t afford to make too many mistakes. Staying up is our goal, and I don’t think the team has lost sight of that, but with this attitude, it’s certainly going to be tough. I’ll have to do my best to make them understand.
