Venezia, Vanoli: “We played a great match, we lacked a little anger”

These are the statements of Paolo Vanoli after the match “Venice” – “Modena”.

“I’m happy with the team. We played a great match, but in the final third we lacked the determination to go on the field and decide the match. Then, perhaps, at the end there was also some fear of losing, but the guys believed in it until the end, and we also had a chance with Bjarkason at the end. We must remain calm and continue to think race by race. I told the guys that we should stay there, suffer and go there. This shouldn’t be a disappointment, it’s a small moment worth holding on to. We missed Palumbo’s pass on the penalty kick, we could have done better. In the first goal, sometimes you have to be smarter. In the first half we were good in preventative measures, today quality in the final third matters, we must be more decisive, better. Nevertheless, the guys performed great. What happens outside does not concern me, this team and I think about what lies ahead, we can do something extraordinary. The company will solve corporate problems, they will take care of it, there are administrators and managers who understand how to solve problems. I and the guys are focused on the dream, and we want to believe in it until the end. I’m for VAR, I always said. However, in my opinion VAR can’t be wrong, that’s what I’m saying. I say this because if you have an image in front of you that you can look at several times… because then they tell me that even I, as a coach, can make mistakes, but I cannot rewind back and forth. So I’m very much for VAR, but sometimes I don’t understand the interpretation. Red cards? I won’t go into details, it really bothered me because there was no nervousness. Maybe there is an excess and I don’t agree with this, a personality arbiter should come there first and call back, I don’t agree with those who immediately draw red. There is an important match, the personal referee, called by the fourth referee, must call back and warn. This peace of mind, he pulled the Reds out of nowhere, maybe he was even right, but then nervousness first arises from this spinelessness. At the end of the day, Marinelli was good, but I have to struggle with these things here. It was an important match for both of us, I don’t understand the problem with the reviews. If you want to grow, you have to do that too. Like it happened to me at the beginning, I get a red card, but tell me what I did before.”
