Verona lost 3-2 to Modena in the last minute, leaving the club in a position of strong dissatisfaction. The match, played at home, ended with a final comeback by Modena which brought the Scaligeri to the dock. The second half was a nightmare for the team: a red card for Edmundsson and a decisive misstep inflicted the final defeat.
In the press room, coach Marco Baroni avoided making excuses, analyzing his staff's performance with raw realism. He recognized the merit of Modena, led by Galloppa, and underlined that "all defeats are bad, but this evening they deserved the victory by doing better than us". Baroni also admitted that the team made mistakes in all situations and that it is necessary to immediately improve the attitude and defensive pressure. “We weren't able to bring the pressure we usually do,” he added, highlighting the tactical and character difficulties that emerged against the Canaries.
The coach focused in particular on the role of Caso, who put the Veronese defense in difficulty with important balls. Baroni stated that he had made reading errors, despite knowing the characteristics of the opposing players. The self-criticism was clear: the team must work on its defensive pressure and maintaining concentration.
Finally, Baroni made an appeal for humility and a spirit of sacrifice, fundamental elements for raising one's head in a ruthless and level Serie B championship. "I don't look at the name and coat of arms of the team, they don't count for anything. The certain thing is that we have to work hard, very hard", he concluded, underlining the importance of constant commitment to recover the position in the standings.
With the defeat, Verona remains in a position of risk in the Serie B standings, where the competition is increasingly fierce. The club will have to face the next matches with a new tactical and mental approach, trying to correct the shortcomings highlighted against Modena and regain the fans' confidence.
