Another joke at the end. There Salernitana suffers another defeat and remains at the bottom of the table -6 from the survival quota which could further increase this weekend. The location of Filippo Inzaghi is no longer so solid: ongoing reflections on its future, with president Iervolino leaving the stadium immediately after the final whistle. “On our first mistake, not even a shot but a cross, the ball went into the bag – said the coach, disappointed, in the post-match press conference -. It was difficult, especially in the first half, to react in the right way beyond that shot by Kastanos where their goalkeeper was very good. Then in the second half the team won the match, we found the equalizer and when we thought we had it in hand – because Empoli were crushed inside the area and we didn’t concede not even restarts -, we caused this penalty which was certainly naive and cut our legs short. We’re sorry, the people and the club deserved another result, another performance, but we can’t help but put our face to it and try to react immediately from tomorrow morning. Luckily there are still many games, we have recovered some important players who will have more playing time in their legs, we will recover some defenders hoping that Pirola hasn’t injured himself again.”
“We can still do it”
“We knew they would be compact, playing with 3-5-2, we had to be quicker in looking for the ball, we were too slow in changing play and if you’re not fast with such closed teams you struggle to find space – added Inzaghi -. In the second half we found more breadth. Today I honestly expected to win. With what the people were like yesterday and the words of the president before the match there were all the conditions for having a great match. From January to this part, all kinds of things happen to us, it’s truly incredible. Probably what we are doing is not enough, I take my responsibilities, I think it will be even more difficult but it could be even more beautiful. We have to get back to scoring points, we will have many direct clashes and we can still do it.”
