The Giallorossi head-coach laments another defeat at the hands of the minnows, as Giuseppe Sannino’s men continue their impressive run against the top sides
AS Roma manager Luis Enrique is ruing his team’s performances in their 1-0 defeat at the hands of Siena at Stadio Artemio Franchi on Monday, February 13.
Emanuele Calaio scored the only goal of the game from the penalty spot in the second-half.
The Giallorossi manager has admitted that most of his team’s star players performed below par against the Tuscan outfit. The manager is ruing the lack of flair in their attacking game, and insists that despite dominating majority
of the possession, they failed to create goal-scoring opportunities.
Enrique has once again insisted that his team needs to be consistent if they want to be recognised amongst the top teams in Europe. The capital side defeated Inter Milan by 4-0 in their last league match, but failed to capitalise
on that victory.
While talking to the reporters, Luis Enrique insisted,
“It really wasn’t our day. I saw many of my men clearly playing below their usual levels. When we don’t have positive possession or cannot find depth, then it becomes difficult. When you lose, something is always missing. We’re
a long way off the consistency we’re looking for.”
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 B coach also hailed the performance of Giuseppe Sannino’s men, insisting that they were tactically excellent throughout the evening. He further admitted that his team has struggled while playing against the
minnows, and they need to step up their performances if they want to qualify for Europe.
“Siena worked well in defence and closed down all of our options. We certainly have to improve in order to win this type of match. I saw the hunger and attitude to do it, but things became more difficult after the penalty.” Added
the former Real Madrid star
As a result of the defeat, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan for the 5th spot in the Serie A standings. They remain 6th in the table with 35 points from 23 games played so far.
La Maggica will take on Parma in their next game on Sunday, February 19, 2012.
