VICTORY – Sassuolo plays well, wins and wastes several match points. Then he also suffers a little too much in the final, making the final even too exciting, from an Emilian perspective. Tips saved a win that had been built into complete match management. “Having won on such a difficult pitch is a source of pride. It was avoidable to get to the end and thank our goalkeeper for the miracles. If we had realized the scoring chances, the match would have ended sooner. the game. Then I can blame a little because we gave our best. I congratulated the team, but it is too easy when you win, as well as criticize when you lose. My job is to point out the negative aspects even when we come out with a heavy victory . You get better by understanding what hasn’t been done right when you win. “

FUTURE – A pinch of bitterness remains. With greater continuity, this team could perhaps aspire to Europe. Also from the point of view of heart and determination. “I think this is the photograph of this team. Beautiful in everything, but which then leaves a little bitter taste in the mouth because something more could be done. We have very strong teams in front of us and very different from us. Probably the position is the best. reachable but there are always margins. The day I leave I hope to see a complete and even stronger team. It is not a goodbye, but an incentive to improve. There is such a high quality that it pushes me not to stop in the request . It may also be my fault if this team does not go any further. They must not be satisfied with the narrow victory. Now we have to look more closely at Verona. Eleven points to recover from seventh place are a lot. The gap seems to me objectively high “.
