U23s, Francesco Modesto: "We ought to shift our focus on Wednesday's match at once"
The black-and-blue coach's post-game de-briefing
Francesco Modesto commented on the setback suffered in Lumezzane as follows: "We ought to show the proper focus game in and game out, facing each opponent with the same stance. By scruffing the passing lines and making poor use of transitions, we overcomplicated things and shot ourselves in the foot quite literally. While our game picked up in the second half, they pulled up the defensive drawbridge to make any viable opening few and far between. While Navarro gave us a chance to get back into it, the match already took its course".
"Nonetheless, the lads are working well – coach Modesto cared to go on – and now we ought to shift our mind on next Wednesday's game against Pergolettese. Come tomorrow, we'll run through tonight's game to look into it and assess the main takeaways and in which aspects we still need to improve. The lads only have to keep their wits about them and plug away. Wiping the slate clean and getting everything ready for Wednesday's game is our number one priority at the moment".
