His words: “We can definitely do more, but today, Roma won the match. We need to keep the team spirit alive, despite the demoralization, and score points in matches against teams of our caliber.”

Alessandro Nesta spoke to the microphones of Sky at the end of the match lost against Roma. These were his words:

“Maybe Monza was a bit too soft, especially in the first half?” “If you take eight players from any team and have them play against Roma, you risk conceding four goals. Today the difference was just too great, it isn’t easy, and when you meet these players it gets tough.” “Surely we can do more, but today, Roma has won the match.”

“Will the ultimate challenge be persuading the team that what seems impossible could be possible?”

“We need to win the matches we can win. “Playing against Roma today, with the crisis we were facing, was incredibly tough. When we have the opportunity to play against teams of our own caliber, we have to score real points and secure some victories.” What’s There to Re-discover? “The Players. Football is made up of players and the differences between players. “If a team loses all these players, even Inter could face difficulties. It’s important to keep the team alive, despite being demoralized, and earn points in matches against teams within our reach.”

Is there a plan to develop an asset for the future society, like the youth? “We have been working with some youths since the beginning of the year, like Bianco, and others who have come to us in January and need time. Bianco isn’t even one of ours. “We need to work and act. Youngsters, without the experience of the elders in the field, might struggle and face challenges. There is also a need for people who know how to manage the flow of the match and these stadiums, and then there’s the factor of time.”

Were you expecting more? “Today, the game was won by Roma- a very strong team. Today we were missing 8 players, plus those who left in January. “When you encounter these teams, you run the risk of being defeated because the difference is clearly visible. We must score points against manageable teams.”

You weren’t in the game today. “The difference is made by the players, I repeat. Players make the difference because otherwise you’re only spending on the coach, but that’s not the case. We have too many people sitting out. “Then we can talk about tactics and things, but that’s it.”

NESTA IN PRESS CONFERENCE

Differences of Roma between the first and second leg? “I’ve seen more of us than anything else.” In a dramatic turn of events, we have lost 7-8 players since that match. However, we did not lose today – they won it. Our team faced several significant absences. It’s happened that we came here and conceded 4 goals. The outcome was not what we would have wished for, but the game has been played and the results have been written down. This is the tough reality of sport, it can be brutal when it hits, but this moment shall also pass. Irrespective of the setbacks, we remain undeterred and ever committed to the game. “It always depends on the opponent, but not only that. We were tougher in the first leg, it’s hard to understand.” “Why was Ganvoula out?” “The ball was coming back, I needed someone who could hold the ball and unload. It was a tactical decision.” Ganvoula has fit in well. “I arrived two weeks ago, I started watching the players. “There are so many newcomers, so many nationalities, we have a lot of work to do to bring them to a certain level. The problem is time.”

A Submissive Attitude? “One must remain on the field. When you are on the field, you feel the difference. From the outside, you can’t even imagine. When you play with a team at your level, you must score points and then you save yourself. “With Lecce, we had to do it, we could have even won. In Rome with 8 less players, the gap is just too wide.” Did He Know Monza Would Lose Badly? “What kind of question is that? What are you asking? I came here knowing I was going to lose? I always come to win. Perhaps I was expecting a different game, but from the field, I can see there’s a huge difference. “The field tells you the truth, maybe yesterday I thought I could play and today the field has spoken. I don’t have a crystal ball to say tomorrow I lose.” This statement, steeped in the unmistakable reality of sports, captures the heart of a player gripped by the unpredictable nature of the game. Unpredictability, it seems, is the only constant on this unpredictable battlefield. “How Much Does He Resemble Hummels?” “He doesn’t resemble me at all. We have different characteristics, I might have been quicker in the long run, but I won’t say who is stronger.”

What judgment does she give on her Monza? “Low, but depended on Roma. Dybala entered the game at the 70th minute. Coaches may issue a command, but it’s the players who make the difference between winning and losing. Roma was stronger, hence the low rating. “For all that we lack, the vote goes to Rome, not Monza.”
