Coach, the first half was managed well
and ended 0-0.
But there wasn't a reaction after the first goal.
Did you expect a reaction?
I think it was a balanced game.
We were putting in a good performance.
I also think we made much the better start
in the second period.
Then we conceded in what was,
perhaps, our best spell of the game
That had a negative impact on us,
in terms of the scoreline and
psychologically speaking,
because they then grew in confidence
we, on the other hand, lost a bit of self-esteem.
Our confidence took a slight hit.
These are situations
where you need to work hard
and you need to improve.
as I've said,
in terms of experience and character,
so you can deal with these situations.
Nonetheless, as I've said,
it's a shame about the result.
Questions from the studio for the coach.
Ilaria, what does the coach need to work on now
going forward after this loss?
In terms of development, what do you plan
to work hard on? Obviously it was a tough game.
I don't think he'll be disheartened in this regard
and will know exactly where work needs to be done.
I think that if comparisons have to be made,
they should be with the team we faced today.
I think they're a quality side on the pitch
with so much experience and character.
They have players who've won so much
in their careers and we have to improve.
Let's not forget that they've been working
together for eight years,
enjoying success and adding piece by piece.
I think they have a top-quality squad,
which is complete in all positions.
We're starting to raise the bar,
but it takes time and patience.
We also have to know that the gap in the league,
besides the game in hand against Sampdoria,
is the two defeats against Juventus,
home and away.
That shows that the players deserve credit
for what they've been doing.
Fernando, the last one for the coach
and then we'll let him go.
Absolutely. I'd like to ask the coach
if the long gap 
had a physical and mental impact on the game? 
I think the long gap is down
to the current situation.
It's an uncertain situation and we're all human.
We all have families and it's a situation
that's alarming all of us.
It's worrying all of us, but having said that, there
are bodies in place to make these decisions,
remembering that health
comes above everything else
and that's the most important thing
for everyone now.
