Udinese, Runjaic's Fury: “Second goal unacceptable, you can't lose matches this way”

The match of the fourteenth day of Serie A Udinese-Genoa ends 1-2 for the Ligurians. The coach of the Bianconeri, Kosta Runjaić, spoke on DAZN microphones after the match, where he expressed all his disappointment for the second goal that sealed the defeat of the Friulians. These are his words:

What was missing at the end of the match? We saw an Udinese with many faces between the first and second half:

“I had the opportunity to watch the match carefully. I didn't like the first part, we needed to invest more, we needed to be more aggressive. In the second part, the team tried to react. When I see the statistics, it's funny because statistics don't give you victories. Yes, we had the favorable moment, we scored the 1-1, but you should never concede the second goal as we did. This is a lack of responsibility. It's not just today, it has happened several times during the season. I have the responsibility for this and I will solve this problem. I will be very direct and clear with the team because not winning is one thing, but losing at home for the second time after Bologna is not good. I am very disappointed, but I have the responsibility and I am aware of our level and our team“.

Does the second goal represent a lack of responsibility from the whole team?

“Yes, it is a lack of responsibility from the whole team but also from myself. I will be very clear and very direct with the team starting next week because I also take responsibility, but there is something to change. It's not just today, it's something that has already happened in other matches, so there is definitely work to be done from this point of view because you can't lose two home matches this way“.

The defensive phase today was very disorganized compared to many matches. Does that definitive leap in quality come precisely from the team's defensive phase to allow you to aim for the top positions in the standings?

“We need to improve to defend as a team, to make the final step towards bigger goals during the season. We need to improve in many phases of the game, but certainly, defense is very important. It is a basic part. The defense must be stable and then you can think of other things. I'm not a dreamer, I'm very realistic. I see that we have a lot of work to do and today there is really a very negative mood. We lost a great opportunity to become a bit more stable in the standings because we are not yet safe. There is a lot of work for us, but the players need to take more responsibility.”
