Pisilli analyzes Roma’s loss to Milan: “We were too timid.” | OneFootball

Roma midfielder Niccolo Pisilli spoke to Sport Mediaset in the aftermath of the team’s elimination from Coppa Italia.

After the 3-1 loss to Milan, Pisilli said, “In my opinion, we approached the game too timidly and waited a bit too long for them. We conceded the first goal like that, giving them too much space.”

“Then we did well at reacting to their goal and we created many chances, but unfortunately, in our best moment, the 2-0 came.”

“In the second half, we changed into a 4-4-2, we were good at reopening the game but when we were trying to push harder, the 3-1 came, it cut our legs off.”

“I have always played as a mezz’ala, I was born a mezz’ala. I try to do what the coach asks of me, if he asks me to play further forward I can do it and if he asks me to play in the two midfielders I can do it easily.”

“I always try to do the job that the coach asks me to do. If I have to say a particular role I say mezz’ala, because I have always been used to doing that.”
