Now we have to regain our energy in view of the Europa League return match” added the former Hellas Verona coach.

The discouragement of my players pleases me because it means that we are not content, but we knew it would be a complicated game and that we would have few opportunities to hurt.

Our goal è to have fun, improve and try to preserve our players. We need to do more in scoring and ball handling, where we need to have more authority. There are many details on which we can still work, such as automatisms in the middle of the field” added the coach of the bianconeri.
