Verona recorded its second consecutive draw at home, with a 1‑1 against Pisa which left the Scaligeri without capitalizing on the advantage obtained at the start of the second half thanks to Iannoni. In the Bentegodi press room, coach Marco Baroni analyzed the team's performance, highlighting the mental and physical difficulties that prevented them from finishing the match.
Baroni explained that, after Iannoni's goal, the team "sagged a bit". According to the coach, it is more of a mental issue than a physical one, and he underlined the need to make forced changes for injury reasons. “Pisa played better than us and we know we have to do more, but the team gave everything,” he said, adding that trust is fundamental and that there is a lack of “sharpness” that the team cannot find at the moment.
As regards refereeing, Baroni expressed disappointment at Lella's expulsion, stating that "there is an refereeing standard". He complained that the referee did not give up the lead to Mosquera, who was heading for goal, and said he was disappointed by the decision.
Injuries were another talking point. Baroni said that for De Battisti it is not "too serious", but that the tests will come tomorrow to clarify the situation. The team probably won't be able to play for a couple of games, but the coach is confident that the cruciate is not involved. For Suslov, however, it is probably a small muscle injury.
Finally, Baroni commented on the performances of the individual players. Ekuban was "a lot on the pitch and worked hard", but he must find continuity. Livramento played deep to help the defense and, according to Baroni, played well, but was tired and therefore replaced. Edmundsson and Slotsager played an excellent match. Perilli, although he is not the starting goalkeeper, is on a growth path and the coach does not believe he has done badly. Verona will now have to try to consolidate their mental and physical strength to face the next challenges.
