Captain GiovanniDiLorenzo expressed his disappointment on Sky Sport, underlining that the club is not able to maintain the level required in the most important matches. According to DiLorenzo, the team is giving its all but lacks continuity during the game, and the schedule is too intense to allow adequate recovery. He added that the group is united and regretful, but that the disappointment must be transformed into motivation for the next match against Bodø/Glimt, scheduled for three days.
When asked if the previous season's defeat against Bologna might have similarities to today's, the captain replied that every year is unique and he sees no similarities.

Despite this, the captain maintained a positive tone, underlining that the club is ready to review its strategy and improve in the next matches.
