Frosinone midfielder Giacomo Calò has expressed his frustration after the defeat against Napoli, saying he was angry at the result. In the press conference he underlined that, although losing is always unpleasant, the team lost "our way" and would prefer to suffer a defeat that way, while still maintaining its playing identity.
Calò commented on the penalty that saw the referee, Feliciani, convinced and not called for VAR. "I didn't see him again, I was quite far away on the pitch. I saw the referee convinced, they didn't even call him to the VAR, I think he's there", he explained. According to the player, the saved penalty could have given the team more energy, especially after the first few minutes of difficulty. "The penalty saved and then countered with the goal took something away from us. In those 10 minutes we were in difficulty and we paid for it", he added.
Regarding the impact of the penalty on the match, Calò acknowledged that the team could have recovered more energy if the penalty had been converted. "Certainly the saved penalty could have given us a little more energy, also because we had suffered in the first 5-10 minutes. The saved penalty and then countered with the goal took something away from us," he said. The defeat highlighted Frosinone's initial difficulties, which paid for their uncertainty in the first minutes of the game.
The midfielder then spoke about the next match against Sassuolo, scheduled for Friday evening. "Definitely moving on immediately. This is who we are, we play this way. Today it went like this, in other games it benefited us. I'm angry but aware of what the team did", he declared. Calò expressed his desire to get back into shape for the next match, trying to maintain his team identity despite the defeat.
In summary, Giacomo Calò showed strong emotion for the defeat against Napoli, but he also demonstrated an awareness of the dynamics of the game and a desire to improve for the next match against Sassuolo. Frosinone will have to reflect on the initial difficulties and try to recover the lost energy to face their next opponent with greater determination.
