Alberto Gilardino Reflects on Bitter Defeat Against Inter
Following a tough loss against Inter, Pisa coach Alberto Gilardino shared his thoughts on the match, emphasizing the challenges his team faced. “It’s a very bitter evening, it’s also very difficult due to the result which is very broad based on what the team showed in the first half,” he noted. Gilardino highlighted the impressive start his team had, stating, “Coming here and going 2-0 up against Inter is not a simple or obvious thing.” However, he acknowledged the shift in momentum after the penalty and Canestrelli’s header at 3-2, saying, “then the inertia of the match changed.”
Analysis of the Match
Gilardino’s assessment of the second half was critical, stating, “In the second half too little of us and a lot of Inter, who are a very strong team.” He emphasized the need to maintain balance until the end of the match, especially after taking a 3-2 lead. “When you’re at 3-2 you have to try to maintain the balance until the 90th minute,” he advised. Unfortunately, his team made too many mistakes, and the substitutions did not provide the expected support. “We made too many mistakes, whoever came on didn’t give us a great hand,” Gilardino reflected.
Looking Ahead
Despite the difficult result, Gilardino urged his team to focus on the positives and move forward. “We have to put aside this difficult result and keep the little good in a bitter evening,” he said. This approach underlines the importance of resilience and learning from defeats in the competitive world of football. For more details on the match and Gilardino’s post-game interview, visit Here
