The post-match of Venezia FC - Spezia SC

At the end of the match between Venezia FC and Spezia SC, valid for the fifth round of Serie BKT, which ended 2-0 in favor of the “arancioneroverdi,” coach Giovanni Stroppa and forward Andrea Adorante shared their post-match analysis.

Giovanni Stroppa, Venezia FC coach:
“After the sending off, it became a different match. I set up the team to be aggressive in one-on-one situations on the wings, and with the extra man we managed the game in the right way. In some situations, I would have liked to see a bit more practicality and less reliance on individual plays, but I still congratulate the team for bringing home the win. Today I also had the chance to rotate the squad ahead of upcoming fixtures, giving minutes to players who will be important in the near future. I’m very satisfied with the individual performances—everyone who stepped onto the pitch gave their all. The win in the Coppa Italia against Verona certainly boosted morale; the locker room is united, and we earned ourselves a place in the Round of 16, which will be played on an important stage.”

Andrea Adorante, Venezia FC forward:
“This is a very important win because in the league we’ve been on a path of growth, and these three points give us further momentum for both the standings and our confidence. I’m still missing a goal from open play, but both myself and the team are working hard to get there. The next match against Palermo must be approached calmly and with full awareness of our qualities, expressing the best of who we are. Both winning and scoring matter a lot to me, so today, in agreement with the captain, I took the penalty kick. We are a very proactive team that likes to keep possession, and I’m working hard to also contribute in the build-up play.”
