Verona coach: Bisek s foul was very dangerous and we had a chance to shoot. Proud of the team s performance

In the 10th round of Serie A last night, Verona lost 1-2 at home to Inter Milan. Verona coach Paolo Zanetti was interviewed after the game.

Verona performed well in this game, but scored an own goal in stoppage time and ultimately lost the game.

Football is sometimes cruel, and it is difficult for me to evaluate the performance of this game. The team performed very well against a very strong opponent, but that moment ruined what could have been a great afternoon for us. But if we keep this up, we can get there. We will continue to believe in what we are doing.

In the 66th minute of the game, Bisek fouled Giovanni, ruining a good opportunity for you, but he only received a yellow card. Do you think this was a red card?

It is difficult to discuss this issue. Judging from the feeling on the field, it was a very dangerous defensive foul, but the penalty scale was determined based on passing the ball forward or to the side... But there is no doubt that with Giovanni's speed, he could have caught up with the ball and formed a shot. It was a very dangerous situation, that's what it is, but I don't think we lost the game because of it. We had another great chance but Orban's shot hit the post.

How do you evaluate the performance of the entire game?

We were under pressure in the first half, which is normal. We conceded a goal that could have been avoided, but it was a great goal. But we played a deserved game, we didn't win because of an own goal, we are proving that we are a team with important values. We had an incredible game against the top teams in Europe and we have to have the courage and confidence to move forward.

How did Bergali and Kurt Chap perform?

Both of them are important players. With Kurt Chap's ability, he can even play for rival Inter Milan. He was selected for the German national team's World Cup squad, but was later absent due to injury. Bergali also showed his precision on defense and can also cause trouble for his opponents on offense.

Verona is currently in a poor position in the standings

This team has great potential, but it is difficult to do so when the results are not good. We have at least seven games so far that we should have won and we have to keep our heads above water and the season really starts now. I received praise from Inter coach Chivu and other opponents, but the points are the most important. Although disappointed with the result, I am proud of the team's performance.

You always play well when facing strong teams.

We will go all out against all opponents. I would like to point out that we created 21 chances against Cremonese and 15 against Sassuolo. But goals are the key. I'm very happy for Giovanni's goal in this game. We work with confidence, the team has proven it can cope and the fans are applauding and motivating us despite the difficult times. If we faced a similar game last season, we would have lost before we even came out. Now we are a real team, but we still need to improve on the details.
