Brienza bitter: “The game I didn’t want.”

Cantù loses at home to Rieti

Cantù loses at home to Rieti and sees the top spot recede again. "Kudos to them – says Brianzoli coach Nicola Brienza -. È came out the game I hoped wouldn’t come out. As said in the pre-game conference, they are a team that defensively è extremely organized and takes away so many solutions from you. And honestly, we struggled so much offensively today, especially when we played in the middle of the field".

"We tried in the first part of the game to have some rhythm by running a lot and trying to play more Garibaldi-style – he adds -. In the first 15 minutes we were good at it and è it was also the way we came out to stretch. Then clearly some’ because of Rieti’s skill, some’ because of our own demerits, we dropped over the distance".

"We had to rely so much on post situations, we managed to make that break that brought us back under with Moraschini and we tried with Basile and Baldi Rossi. È clear forò that è too little. We knew it was a tough game, they did well but we now have to continue to do ours. I am angry about the result, becauseé we do not like it and we do not want to lose. Honestly, però the boys tried. It è was not enough and in my opinion there's a pretty clear reason for that, so we will try further to improve and try to be moreù performant in certain game situations" concludes Brienza.
