MONTELLA: "AN UNPLEASANT DEFEAT"

Published on: 25 September 2017

Following the clash, coach Montella addressed the media in the post-match press conference at Marassi. These were his words:

THE LOSS
“Sampdoria were better than us and deserved to win. I would have liked to beat them, instead, it has been an unpleasant defeat. We are the youngest team in the competition and we have ups and downs, it could have been that. Our blackout is due to a lack of mental toughness when it comes to playing games of greater difficulty. Two defeats in the last three away games is a lot".

THE DEFENCE
“Before this match we were the team with fewer goals conceded in Serie A TIM. The goals today followed two individual mistakes. The defence was one of our main strengths and must continue like that".

ON THE INDIVIDUALS
“Young players tend to have ups and downs, and when you play every three days, it’s natural to lose intensity, to be less mentally tough. Many leave this behind with experience. Suso’s substitution? I changed strategies playing two forwards, it was more tactical than a technical choice. Thinking in long term, I don’t think he will struggle with the system of play".
