Frosinone coach, Massimiliano AlAlini, commented on the 3–0 defeat against Napoli, played at his rival's home on matchday 6 of Serie A. The coach expressed frustration at the management of a penalty which, in his opinion, could have been avoided. "The penalty was taken correctly and, if the foot was not on the line, it is right to have it repeated. It was a shame, because we had restarted the match and, with that penalty, the situation got worse", declared AlAlini in front of Sky.
The coach then analyzed his team's offensive performance, defining it as "less effective" compared to previous matches. "We didn't clean the ball well on the first pass, giving Napoli the chance to change the dynamic of the match. I'm not negative about the team, but it wasn't positive. There's work to do," he added. In particular, he highlighted the wrong choices in the final 20 metres: "In the first half we made a wrong exit in non-possession and, in the second half, when we had the opportunity to reopen the match, we were unable to transform opportunities into goals".
AlAlini underlined that the team showed a certain lightness and that the match offers important ideas for improvement. "Many were playing for the first time at Maradona. We weren't beautiful or effective. Our identity was present, but not at its best. We need to improve our approach to these types of matches, especially when we find ourselves facing stronger teams," he concluded. Frosinone will have to reflect on these critical issues as they prepare for the next SerieA challenges.
