Cremonese, Ballardini: “We didn’t deserve to win”

At the end of the match lost against Bari, the coach of the gray-reds, Davide Ballardini, spoke from the Zini press center to answer questions from the journalists present. Here are his statements.

Cremo had possession throughout the match but was only dangerous on shots from outside, both with Vazquez as a centre-forward and Ciofani. What did you like and what not?
“We had a case with Buonaiuto that was very clear. If you’re so slow, you don’t give breadth and depth… You let the others get close and it becomes hard to score. Bari did very little to win and they did, but Cremonese needs to be more dynamic, intense and deep. There is also a dirty game, possibly leading the opponent to a mistake. We played too cleanly, and in this case you need to have a different anger and determination. You know me, when we won without deserving, I said this, and today I say that we did not deserve to win, you need to play with a different anger and intensity. But despite this, I don’t remember any chances or saves for Sarr. This is useful to us because it probably tells us that we need to change the case”

There is a problem with goals, two games and zero goals. The game seems monotonous, when the opponent understands this, he takes precautions and calmly defends himself.
“That’s right, you need to be less predictable and deeper, you need to play behind the backs of the opponent’s defenders, even if it’s not easy, because they defend in the box. Between Catanzaro and Bari I seem to count 8-9 actions in our half of the field because we have always been there, but I would like them to stay more in our half so that we have more field to play in the spaces of the opponent’s defense . In short, a lot of predictability”
