Cagliari, Coach Pisacane's Words After the Coppa Italia Match Against Napoli

Fabio Pisacane's words in the press conference after Napoli-Cagliari, the Coppa Italia round of 16, with the Azzurri securing their spot in the quarterfinals thanks to the penalty shootout victory.

“It's normal that when 4-5 players start their first match of the season, something is lacking. Then we had a championship-winning team in front of us. There's a bitter taste for not having achieved the goal of advancing. However, the performance remains, and seeing the 2005-born players perform well. There's the disappointment of not reaching the quarterfinals.”

The Message from the Locker Room

“After not winning for two months, it's important not to be trivial. I'll tell you the same things I told the boys: it's a starting point, but when you don't win, you have to do something more.”

Lack of Experience

“It's normal, but I'd like to emphasize that we don't win not because of inexperience. We have decided to carry forward a technical project of this nature, so no excuses. The boys follow exactly what is asked of them, it's just a matter of time.”

What the Team Needs to Score More Points

“It seems trivial, but scoring one more goal than the others. When goals are conceded, there are always mistakes. We allowed few shots on goal and conceded in the first half. Distractions come at a high price. So, besides scoring a few more goals, we also need to concede fewer.”

Francesco Landi
