The Rossoblù full-back Gabriele Zappa spoke to the media at the end of the match against Bologna. His statements:
GOOD FIRST HALF
“We were good in the first half, doing what the Coach asked of us: we had prepared for it that way, and we took the lead. We always want to play our game, even on a tough field like Bologna’s. However, in the second half, especially in the first twenty minutes, we struggled: we were more disorganized, we suffered, and we conceded their goal early on. There’s still regret, we’re disappointed, we could have done more.”
WORKING ON THE DETAILS
“Football is made up of moments, and it’s up to us to make them go in our favor. We need to improve, refine the details that make the difference: in certain situations, we need to be more determined, there needs to be more grit. For example, on their second goal, I could have committed a foul myself to stop the play. However, we fought hard today from the first to the last minute against a great team, and we’re on the right path.”
FOCUS ON GENOA
“We took an important point from Bergamo, but unfortunately, we couldn’t get a result against Juventus and today in Bologna. We’re talking about three great teams, and we’ve competed with all of them. The standings? Right now, it’s of relative importance. We need to focus on ourselves, we must try to get results in every game to reach our goal as soon as possible. We’ll start again right away; on Friday, we have a crucial match ahead of us in front of our fans.”
