Pisa, D’Angelo: “A fair draw. Red to Marin? A ‘vaffa’ has never killed anyone”
External draw for Pisa who wins an important point on the Genoa field and with just over half an hour played with the man down. The Nerazzurri coach is satisfied Luke D’Angelo who spoke in the Ferraris press room at the end of the match:
A tactically perfect match.
“I think it was a balanced game that we approached well. We put a lot of pressure on Genoa’s first play, especially in the first 20-25 minutes, we put them in difficulty. Then Genoa came out because Genoa has quality players and personality In the second half we got off to a good start and then the balance shifted towards Genoa after the expulsion but even there we risked only once. Let’s say that a draw is the fairest result”.
A comment on Marin’s expulsion.
“From what I’ve heard, after the yellow card there was one word too many. However, I believe that a referee as good as Volpe, and he is, should have overlooked it because in the meantime the match was competitively strong but not bad. And fuck you, don’t never killed anyone.”
The team today gave proof of great unity.
“We’re also the team that has had the highest streak without conceding the highest goal in the league. In the last two games we’ve had some problems but in general we’ve done well in the last 17-18 games. We also played ten players in Bari and we drew. We have a very good defensive phase.”
Russia?
“He played a very good match. He needs to have more continuity, and that depends on the choices I make. He is a player with enormous potential and today he proved it in front of forwards like Puscas, Aramu and Coda. He defended very well, teams and individually”.
In your opinion, is Genoa the strongest team you have faced?
“He made a huge impression on me. They seem like a solid team to me. We recovered the ball on five or six occasions and generally we scored. Genoa, on the other hand, regrouped quickly. Then they have enormous quality and then they are lucky enough to play in a stadium that forces you to run because it pushes you in an incredible way”.
The fans of the two teams put on a show in the stands.
“Absolutely yes. I noticed from the warm-up that the two fans were mixed and everyone was rooting for their team without insulting their opponent. That would be the ABC of sport. Our fans were exceptional, the Genoa fans push the team in an extraordinary way and they made us feel less alone than you can feel in a stadium like this”.
