Soccer - Coach Greco still believes in survival: "The team will achieve its goal" - Sports - Varese News

LEANDRO GRECO (Pro Patria Coach): "We need to mature because we didn't play a great game, as we've played in other games as well. The standings weigh heavily, confidence is eroded, and even a simple pass becomes more complicated and a stop becomes difficult. It's a natural thing; the lads did a good job of staying focused. It's disappointing because games are also won by playing poorly; we took the lead with Mastroianni's goal. There's a bit of disappointment."

Greco 2 : “It's a shame because these guys give it their all, and I've supported that from the start. We're going through a difficult time and we have to try to overcome it. Some players need to get back into shape, some are just getting back into shape and the results aren't coming. We have to learn to live with these situations and I believe this team will achieve its goal, with all its difficulties, the things we need to improve and the positives.”

Greco 3 : “A team's development happens through the work done during the week in training. We've had very few full training sessions; for example, Schirò recently returned, and Schiavone has often been out. I hope to work consistently with everyone. Schiavone left due to fatigue and didn't want to risk further injury.”

DAVIDE FERRI (Captain Pro Patria) : “We need to improve. Football is made up of incidents, and we need to improve both individually and as a team. In these games, you don't see incredible ball possession, you don't see many consecutive passes; they're dirty games, often decided by incidents. Once you manage to get the ball in your favor, you have to try to kill it like that, kicking every ball away.”

Ferri 2 : "We all know it's a difficult time, so balls weigh more heavily. But this is football, and we have to improve, because we have to get out of this somehow."
