Post-match reaction after the defeat to Cremonese

After the defeat, Vincenzo Italiano said, “Playing so often means you always need to be at full focus and fitness. At times today, we didn’t look like ourselves. Although at two down, we reacted, created chances, and put balls into the box, which we didn’t need. Now, we need to pick ourselves up, because we have an important game on Thursday, and we need to put this loss behind us.” 

Riccardo Orsolini stated, “It’s a tough game to comment on. You could tell it wasn’t our night after hitting the post early on. They then took a two-goal lead because of our two mistakes. We halved the deficit with the penalty before the break and tried to bring ourselves level, but their third goal took it out of us. We attacked late on and tried everything, but it was one of those nights when the ball never looked like going in. Now, we need to reset and go again, because we have an important cup game on Thursday.”
