Satisfied with Bitterness: Alberto Aquilani’s Analysis After Pisa’s Draw Against Reggiana

Satisfied and with a hint of bitterness in his mouth for not being able to take away the victory together with his boys. Alberto Aquilani begins his analysis from the positive sides after Pisa’s draw against Reggiana.

«We must be happy because there was an intense performance from everyone. With a little more quality we could have obtained the three points and I am convinced that things can improve further. I have seen some important progress. Maybe we deserved something more. We must continue like this – the Nerazzurri coach continues – because in this championship if you can’t win you shouldn’t lose. Arena gave a very good performance. He didn’t give up after the mistakes he made in the first half and in the second half he had even more courage.”

Then Aquilani moves on to comment on the individual performances: «Reggiana came to pick us up in our half of the pitch and this made it easier for us to play with the ball. We play every three days and I have a large squad, I am happy and proud of the performance of Barberis, Jureskin and Piccinini. Barberis is a smart guy. We have to hold on to him, he can give us a lot. I replaced Marin because I saw him nervous after the warning. Are you worth it? Adductor pain, I rested it for Saturday. Hermannsson was a choice, he was fine, but he only went to the stands because I have a squad that forces me to make choices.”

The Pisa coach continues: «I had planned to give minutes to Torregrossa, but there was no margin to do so. The defensive performance was good, we must continue like this. Without the ball we played very well. Barbieri is committed and has excellent physical and moral qualities, he is hungry and must continue to work with humility.”

Finally, the appeal to the Nerazzurri people for the match on Saturday 30 September at 2pm against Cosenza: «It will be a very difficult match, but I expect a packed Arena to lead us to victory».
