These are his statements:<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>REGRET FOR THE RESULT<\/strong><br\/>&#8220;We played a great match against a strong team like Como, which is not surprisingly ranked high in the table. They have very talented players, and they showed it with the second goal; that made the difference. But ours was truly a great performance in every respect. We knew they were aggressive, and we had prepared for the match to do our best with our strengths. The result isn&#8217;t fair; it was a tight match; we deserved at least a draw.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>WORKING TO GROW<\/strong><br\/>I had to adapt to a different kind of football. In Uruguay, for example, they don&#8217;t play at this pace. The pitch itself is different, but here it&#8217;s faster. I worked to adapt both physically and technically, training session after training session, match after match, and each time it got better. The more time passes, the more comfortable I feel. I know I still have to improve in many areas, like my physicality and my reading of the game. Tactically, it&#8217;s very different in Uruguay. Serie A is a very difficult league, but I&#8217;m adapting to everything as best I can. I&#8217;m happy to be able to play consistently, to contribute to helping the team. With every game, I feel things are getting better, and for that, I&#8217;m happy.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>FOCUS ON PISA<\/strong><br\/>&#8220;We take to the field to try to get points against anyone, and we came very close again today. Besides Esposito&#8217;s goal, we came close to scoring several times. I&#8217;m pleased that Sebastiano scored; for a striker, a goal is always important; it gives him confidence, and that&#8217;s also important for the team. It will certainly be an important match against Pisa, a direct clash. We&#8217;ll be playing away, and it will certainly be a tight match. We&#8217;ll have to go there ready to fight to take home the three points.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":23081,"template":"","tags":[],"news_cat":[278,276,274],"class_list":["post-23088","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","news_cat-new-in","news_cat-latest-news","news_cat-first-team"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.7 -
