US Cremonese press release

Protagonist of Cremonese-Lecco 1-0 with the goal that decided the match, the grey-red midfielder Michele Chestnuts he spoke after the match from the Zini press room. Here are his statements.

In the first half hour you dominated, then there were some more difficulties…
“We started off strong, then we suffered a bit from the opponents’ return because they were there too. With Brescia we played a great match taking very few risks, but we are a team that has to fight every match. Together with us, Lecco were one of the best teams in the championship, the result was a balanced match and it’s good to have won 1-0 while suffering. There are many matches like this in Serie B.”

You are one of the points of reference of the squad. Do you feel this confidence?
“Definitely, then maybe it’s also because I’m older than I was a few years ago… At 33 I know what I have to do and I try to do it in the best possible way. But yes, I feel the trust and this is fundamental for a footballer.”

Sometimes it seems that Cremonese exaggerates in their plays, even if in some moments more concreteness is needed…
“We need to improve in that aspect, but in all areas of the pitch. The coach wants us to come out from behind and we have to understand the moments of the match, that small step that makes you throw the ball out at the right time. These situations happen because we often attack closed teams, so we look for plays that from the outside may seem affected but instead serve to find spaces.”

Your goal shows that it is important to look for shots from distance. Will you try to score more this way?
“We have many strings to our bow and this is certainly a solution. At that moment Lecco were closed behind and therefore in the future when there are situations like this, shooting from outside will be an important weapon.”

It seems like you have gained more awareness. What aspects has Mister Stroppa worked on since his arrival?
“He works a lot on coming out from deep and keeping the ball to hurt the opponent. In my opinion we can improve a lot, then there are teams that allow you to do it and others that play man. We try to work on knowledge, find the unmarked man and then go and do badly.”
