The rossobl\u00f9 coach does not hide his disappointment at a performance below the standards shown in the first league outings, underlining the need to speed up the integration of the new arrivals without looking for alibis. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>DISAPPOINTMENT WITH RESULT AND PERFORMANCE<\/strong><br\/>\u00abI&#8217;m not very happy with the performance, as well as with the result. We wanted to get through and I congratulate Verona, especially for the first half. In the end, following an individual error, they were cynical in capitalizing on one of the two chances they had in the second half. We were not very bad and this must never happen.&#8221; Pisacane looks ahead without looking for extenuating circumstances: \u00abWe must not look for alibis. We don&#8217;t pass the shift and continue working.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>THE APPROACH TO THE MATCH<br\/><\/strong>\u00abThe first thirty minutes weren&#8217;t good. It&#8217;s a shame, because both in possession and non-possession we didn&#8217;t do what we should. With the ball we had to be more aggressive, without it we had to interpret our structure better. We wanted to build with three, move Verona and go and get them in a certain way. We have rarely had an approach like today&#8217;s, especially in duels, and for this I take responsibility. We created several situations on the outside, one-on-one, even in the first half, but we weren&#8217;t able to make an impact. In the second half, without a doubt, we did better in terms of attitude and decision-making.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>NO EXCUSES FOR THE MANY NEW ARRIVALS<\/strong><br\/>The squad has changed significantly, and numerous players have arrived in recent weeks. This is an element to consider in our daily work, but not an excuse for the defeat: &#8220;We need to accelerate the integration of the new players, of whom there are many. But we mustn&#8217;t have excuses and link this defeat to the presence of so many new players. These players arrived for specific reasons, and I thank the club for making them available to me. This team has put in two great performances in Serie A, less so today. We must never lack enthusiasm and the desire to improve. There&#8217;s no such thing as old and new; there&#8217;s Cagliari. We need to get on the same wavelength as quickly as possible. Now, it&#8217;s about bringing enthusiasm and competitive spirit, and then continuing to implement the concepts and methodologies.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>PHYSICAL CONDITION<\/strong><br\/>&#8220;Several of the guys needed to improve their fitness today. I&#8217;m thinking of Felici, Fadera, Liteta, and others. I&#8217;m happy for Fadera and Ciervo because they played ninety minutes for the first time. They&#8217;re improving their fitness like the other guys, and they&#8217;ll definitely give us a hand.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>MENTALITY AND LEADERSHIP<br\/><\/strong>&#8220;Soul makes the difference, and that must distinguish us every day. It takes time, but ultimately, leadership is also within you, and many can have it, beyond the flank. Today, it&#8217;s not right to drastically condemn those who played in the first half. We shouldn&#8217;t completely absolve, but we shouldn&#8217;t beat them either. Sometimes there are victories that sweep the dust under the rug, while defeats make everything look ugly. A year ago, we beat Entella on penalties with a performance similar to today&#8217;s. If I had won tonight, I certainly wouldn&#8217;t have erased today&#8217;s poor first half. Defeats teach us a lot, both technically and in terms of attitude. We must work and maintain the mentality we need, the one from which everything starts, and then focus on concepts and methodologies.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>DISQUALIFICATION AND RETURN TO THE FIELD<\/strong><br\/>Pisacane followed the match from the stands due to the disqualification he received after his sending off against Arezzo. An experience that the coach didn&#8217;t particularly like: \u00abIt was the first time for me and it was hard. I hope it never happens again. I certainly can&#8217;t be a coach from the stands, I need to live and play the game on the pitch. I&#8217;m sorry, it was my fault for the expulsion against Arezzo and I will make the most of it.&#8221; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":26826,"template":"","tags":[],"news_cat":[278,276,274],"class_list":["post-26829","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 -
