Spezia, Alvini: “We played openly against Sassuolo. The next step is in mentality”

After losing on penalties to Sassuolo in the Italian Cup, Spezia coach Massimiliano Alvini He told the official channels of the Ligurian club the following: “Spezia was in the match for 120 minutes and we could even take it home. We did well and are sorry we have to leave., for what we implemented, for the ideas and spirit that we had that evening. We, too, like Sassuolo, were close to scoring several times, the team is alive and played openly today on the field of a very strong team.

After a good start to the season, something went wrong, especially in the early days. Then, after the Reggiana match, the boys responded and are working hard to improve every day. The group is united and has every desire to rise to the top again.in some situations we could have played better, that’s for sure, but today we played on equal terms against a great team.

I’m sorry and angry that I played on Thursday, two days after Cremonese, because two days at this level can make all the difference. and I think a lot more care needs to be taken when designing certain calendars and selecting certain options.

The next step Spezia needs to take is mentality.We are a very young group and have a lot of growing to do in mind, attitude and talent development.

We have to continue to put a lot of passion into this during the week, during training, because this is what the growth of this team goes through, as they build something and eventually they will also be able to get important results. It will take time because, as I said, we are very young, but we are on the right track.”
