Cremonese, Stroppa: “The final exam is passed, we are improving race by race”

Was this a perfect couple in every way?

“Great game, we knew what difficulties we could face at the beginning of the two halves, but we came out well. Level of maturity in dribble control, ability to move vertically, handling foul balls. The result could have been wider, the only drawback is that I’m sorry. Since I arrived, the team has provided important answers from a character, physical and technical point of view. As was said yesterday, even when we didn’t bring home a single point, the team didn’t lose. There has always been a great path of improvement, we are bringing home an important result. We were very interested, the team is trying to take the positions it deserves.”

The only downside is that the liabilities have not been increased further. And since his arrival, his Cremonese have scored more points than all the teams together with Parma. Not bad, right?

“Results matter, we are sent home for results, so it is not so obvious and easy. It is a continuous journey of knowledge, attitudes and mentality. The technical and ideological path, the team is improving. After this match I don’t want to think about what we could have done better, because a win like this in Brescia is important. We’ll see after the break, performances should always be of this level in terms of character.”

A few words about the fans who supported the team.

“It’s beautiful today, as always. They always made themselves known, even at home when we didn’t win. We got a few whistles against Südtirol in the 90th minute and we take it absolutely calmly. They were never deprived of their contribution, especially outside the home and therefore in a wonderful environment. We supported each other.”
Yungdal is very confident, attentive and brave. Antov has a tendency to increase his level, today he also made an excellent assist.

“They are a reflection of how the team is growing. I’m happy for Yungdahl, Sarr’s absence, instead of placing negative responsibilities on him, calmed him down. Like a good Nordic, he performed at the highest level. He was brave and kind, he did what was right and right. For Antov it is a journey that with me starts very far: in Monza I chose him because I saw the quality he could have, over time he made some mistakes that stopped him a little, but I found him here in Cremona and I can continue on my path of growth.”

Have you also seen that Brescia is in a very difficult situation? We do…

“I wouldn’t like to comment on Brescia, I think it suits me. We knew we could find an environment that connected to the team, but we also knew we could get the episodes on our side by putting them in a difficult situation. It happened like this, and I still congratulate my guys.”
