Benevento, Cannavaro: “In the first half, I saw that the guys were scared, we need more confidence”

Result:

“It’s a pity, in the first half I saw fear among the players. It does not suit me, they know that they can make mistakes, but they must enter the field with confidence and conviction. I don’t like fear in football. “Tactically, we didn’t do anything I asked him to do. We suffered too much, and it’s not good. They weren’t conscious, I saw them too confused. In this case, you need to limit the damage.”

Choice to start the game:

“I knew that I had to give up a bit in quality in the first half, because then in the second half I would put players who are not at the top yet. I also wanted to include Tello, because he is a player who can give us a lot. The quality is there, the condition is missing. In the second half, I reassured them, saying that we were doing it wrong. I liked the reaction. The condition is not the best. ball at twenty meters and restart, and I ask them to stay higher: this is an expensive game. I have to use the five substitutions effectively.”

Return to the Italian bench:

“I was happy to be back in Italian football. I liked the reaction of the public in the second half. I understand the reaction of the public in the first half, even if I don’t agree with it. In difficult moments, you need more warmth towards the players. Then the game ends and we are free to referee. We knew there was a lot of work to be done beyond that. There was a lot of euphoria, a lot of anticipation, the guys felt it.”

Bad first half:

“In the first half, we performed very poorly because our fifths kept their feet on the line and our hands did not slip in the ball area. An attitude driven by fear.

Wounded Veseli and Glick?

“First impressions are not very good. We will evaluate in the coming days. We always have to think about a half-full glass. This is a difficult moment, I have to manage my own forces well. Sooner or later everyone will have to be asked a question. The championship is still far away.”
