Baldini disconsolate: "Goal at the first opportunity": "It's a question of mind, we're scared"

Francesco Baldini can't come to terms with what happened at the dawn of the match, with Pineto's one-two scored by Germinary e bruzzaniti to which his team did not put up any resistance. "Our approach to the game is unacceptable, and the responsibility is mine – explains the Massa coach –. I cannot take away this difficulty from the team at the start of each game, and it is incredible what happens in the heads of the lads. In the second half we played a great game, but I just cannot take away this defect from the team: at the first cross we concede a goal, at the first free kick and at the first corner the same. It is a question of the mind, because when you play with fear you make mistakes. Finding the medicine to heal is not easy: in the second half, when we had nothing left to lose, we won all the duels and managed to equalise. The own goal condemns us, but I am not even thinking of massacring Nador for that episode: I was a defender and these things can happen. It's not a question of the formation or how you set up the game, but of the handbrake pulled out due to fear. It's not easy when you always start with the opponents leading 1-0: since I arrived at Ferrara I did 75% of the work to improve the defensive phase, but it was of no use. It will mean that next week I will focus only on the attackers. After all, we only get going after conceding two goals: we tried everything, but it is a complicated puzzle to solve.

The ranking? We know, the one with Pineto it was an important match for a thousand reasons: now we have to recharge our batteries mentally, because the problem of Spal is that the team is completely blocked at 0-0. The brace of Karlsson"He was already working hard before and he deserves these two goals which are the right reward for a boy who has made himself available to the group".
