Venezia head coach, Eusebio Di Francesco, expressed his frustration following an undeserved defeat against Lecce. The match ended 0-1, a result that was particularly painful for Venezia as they dominated the first 70 minutes. This loss leaves Di Francesco’s team at the bottom of the standings. Speaking to Sky Sport after the game, Di Francesco shared his thoughts on the match.
“The frustration is immense; we didn’t deserve to lose,” he stated. “When you dominate and create so many opportunities while playing beautiful football, it’s disappointing when the whistle blows against you. It’s our fault, and we’ll continue to train hard. I’m upset because our efforts haven’t been rewarded. The risk we must avoid is falling into complete despair. In a challenging league like Serie A, it’s possible to concede a goal after not allowing a shot for 70 minutes.”
Reflecting on their performance, he added, “The only matches we’ve won were decided in the final moments. It’s not about conserving energy early on. The key is to secure a win when you’re in control. Lecce played a very defensive game, but the fault lies with us. I’m not looking for excuses, but tonight I struggle to look foolish; I would tie myself to the result, but we truly didn’t deserve to lose.”
