Caressa's words on the team's performance

The journalist said: “In my opinion the fans' emotional reaction is justified.” He recalled that the team started the journey at a modest level and joked: “What did you expect, that in two training sessions they would become world champions?”

Caressa highlighted the “defensive fragility of the first half”, calling it “a big mess”. He added that in the second half “a little something was seen”, but emphasized the need for improvements in the next four matches.

Regarding the faces to be valued, he said “I like Di Lorenzo, but you have Kayode and you can try him”, suggesting the coach to experiment with Kayode.

The comment on the Nations League was blunt: “Who cares?”

In conclusion, Caressa was “fairly convinced” that the team will find progress, but he hinted that the road is still long.
