Brescia, Gastaldello: “A well-deserved victory. But the opportunity given by Dionisi at the end made me…

Statements from Brescia coach Daniele Gastaldello after the Swallows’ success in Terni:

A victory at the end of a match where you were always in control and the match plan was executed to perfection?

“I asked them to be brave, lift them high, play with the ball to make them run and find spaces between the lines. Today we did all this much better than last time, although we can do even better. We deserved to win despite some slow ball movement in the first half. In the second we controlled the ball better and found the goal. I was annoyed by the chance given to Dionisi 2′ from the end, no player could have entered the box with such ease with a game in hand. If he had scored, we would have gotten a beating we didn’t deserve.”

Did three substitutions become a turning point?

“I did them not because we had difficulties, but because they were players who did not have all the game in their legs, they had physical difficulties. Van de Looy started to have cramps and both strikers were no longer as strong as before.”

Fifth clean sheet in seven games…

“I will note Adorni, an exemplary professional, he never talks, never complains, he always worked hard. I’m glad he showed such a performance, he really deserves it, because he’s only played 7 minutes so far. He has to lead by example, everyone has to be ready, like he did this afternoon.”

Is this the best performance of the season also from a personality point of view?

“Yes, we have grown a lot, taking control of the game from the very beginning, as I asked. Now we have an important tour ahead of us, matches take place every three days. Everyone should try to prove themselves. When someone brags, the team’s level rises. Those who start at the beginning are not necessarily beginners, and if they fall, others will take over who are doing well.” […].
