Como, Longo: “We must be ambitious, winning is important”

How find the best way to restart after two losses in a row. Because in one fell swoop they beat Catanzaro at home, reduced the gap to their opponents to four points and, importantly, established themselves in the center of the playoff zone. Verdi scored the winning goal early in the match from the penalty spot. A goal with significant weight for both the playmaker and Como, beautiful and active in the first half and cautious, leaving no space in the second half when Catanzaro tried to force the tempo and played to try to equalize. At the post-match press conference, coaching analysis of the match Moreno Longo.

“We played bravely and attacked Catanzaro well at the heights. We interpreted the game well and used good rhythm and pressing timing. The team was really good and Gabrilononi and Kone gave us a lot. Gabrielloni gave us these different qualities compared to Cutrone, who helped us in certain circumstances. I’m happy with the win because the points always matter, but I’m even happier with the game because the performances give me an important future to think about. I don’t like a win coming in a meager manner, the game always matters and today we were really good. Como worked as a team and as a team, we always stayed short, careful and with the right distances. If there is a flaw in this match it is that it did not finish the match first, there were a few chances to score a second goal, but in the last pass we were not very clean or not very accurate in other cases in finishing.

The good news, however, is that Como created several scoring chances. I don’t need a happy Como, I need a team with ambitions. But ambitions are built on the pitch, we must show there that we have a dream and that we want to achieve the best results. I don’t know whether it will be promotion or the play-offs, but my Como must be ambitious.”
