Pisa’s Corrado: “We’re strong and brave, just need some luck” | OneFootball

Pisa leaves the Maradona with a 3-2 defeat that leaves a bitter taste but does not erase the team's good performance. The president, Giuseppe Corrado, spoke on Napoli Network to analyze the match and the current state of the Tuscan team.

Corrado: “Pisa courageous, referee incidents not an excuse”

“In terms of performance, we are satisfied,” he stated. “We have built a young, physical, and courageous team, as we wanted. Perhaps we still lack experience, but the idea was clear: to face an increasingly tough league, even athletically. In the standings, we are paying for a difficult schedule, with close matches against Atalanta, Napoli, and Roma. We had anticipated a challenging start, but we know the season is long and there is plenty of room for growth.”

Corrado then commented on the referee incidents, avoiding controversy but not hiding some doubts: “As a club policy, we haven't talked about referees for years. Blaming them would be an excuse and would drain energy. The incident in the area with Akinsanmiro and Di Lorenzo left us with some doubts, maybe VAR could have intervened, but this is not what should change our path. The goal disallowed for Napoli by a few centimeters shows that engineers are now needed to assess offsides. In the end, referees do not decide a championship, they can influence a single match, but our task is to improve performances.” Finally, the club owner revealed a market backstory: “Zerbin was in our plans because he has ideal characteristics for the role of a wing-back. In the end, we made different choices, also due to the recoveries of Leris and Esteves and the opportunity with Stengs. But he remains a player of great value.”
