Statements from Como coach Osian Roberts after the success of the championship derby against Brescia: “It was important to win at home, the result is the most important thing. Some aspects of the match went very well, I’m talking about the clean sheet for example, a fact that strengthens the mentality of the team and gives us great credit. There is always a reason not to change the formation when you win, that’s true. Every week you have to find the right winning formula and as a coach I know that sometimes you need to change and sometimes you don’t.
Today, in my opinion, this was not necessary, but I have a really strong team. Those who raced during the race made an important contribution to getting us to the finish line. I’m sure everyone is happy tonight, even those who couldn’t contribute on the field or those who joined later, but they know that their moment will also come between now and the end of the season, because everyone’s contribution will be necessary. It’s all about hard work and sacrifice. I hope you have noticed that the team has grown in this aspect.
Brescia are a good team, well organized, when they get forward they are strong in the air and with long balls. We needed to be just as organized to control such situations. They are strong, especially when they throw long balls, and as we expected, it was a tough game, so it is even more important to come away with three points. Today in the second half we performed better than in Terni, especially in terms of possession, which was the same in the first and second half.
This indicates that this was not the case in Terni. And in fact, we scored more today in the second half than in the first. The new players train well and, when given the opportunity, can influence the match. I’m sure they’ll be ready in the next few weeks when they have even more space. If you think about the last three games, we were without three of our best players, but the depth of the squad and the quality of players still allowed us to achieve results.”
