We played very well today.
It was only towards the end of the first half.
The players started to get nervous and play less as a team.
We struggled with and without the ball.
And this shows that we have to improve under certain aspects of the game.
I have always told you that VAR is very important.
It helps the referee with taking the right decision.
But obviously the referee is the one who has the last word.
The purpose of the VAR is to help the referee during the chaotic moments of the match.
I think it's pointless to argue over this matter, VAR is useful and the referee knows that.
Today football is fast and it's difficult to see everything.
And that is why VAR is helpful in this kind of situations.
I have no doubt we have to improve.
We had three difficult days after the game in Bergamo.
Today we conceded a soft penalty.
But I think it can happen from time to time.
Today Sampdoria played really well.
But we didn't give them the opportunity to strike.
The only chances they had were the penalty, Saponara's disallowed goal and maybe one other shot.
We created lots of chances throughout the game and Audero made some great saves.
Even during the most difficult moments of the game we managed to keep our focus and stay in the lead.
Looking back at this match, I think a draw would have been very disappointing for us.
A draw today would have been a waste of two precious points.
