Cremonese, Nicola to DAZN: Happy with unique match performance | OneFootball

At the end of the match against Juventus, the Cremonese coach, Davide Nicola, spoke to DAZN microphones, where he explained the reasons that led to his team's defeat.

Cremonese, Nicola on DAZN: “These matches are special, happy with the performance”

These are the statements of the grey-red coach to DAZN microphones: “We wanted to play a different match compared to the one with Inter and we succeeded. The fact that I see the players annoyed for not having recovered makes me proud, but it doesn't surprise me. We faced a great team that had also changed coach: we lacked a bit of physicality in the first half. In the second half, the approach further improved, we played 20 enjoyable minutes and if we had scored it would have been even more fun. We conceded the 2-0, but we managed to reopen it: in the end, a bit of everything happened, but the guys still put in an excellent performance.”

“I think people enjoyed it. You could see it at the end. I saw a team that doesn't stop believing in what it does. For me, tonight we played an excellent match from a technical-tactical point of view. Up front, we paid a bit for physicality: we developed well, but when we got to the lateral attacks, we lacked bringing more players into the area, frequently. Our forwards had to do an incredible job against Kalulu, Gatti, Locatelli, Rugani… they are experienced, they have significant physicality. They were also playing their third match in a week. Yes, we should have had a better first half, but compared to the match with Inter, we made a step forward. It's a pity, if we had found the goal in the first 20 minutes of the second half, who knows what could have happened afterward. We had also reopened it, but then the pace was too fragmented. Anyway, we accept the verdict.”
