Salernitana, Colantuono: “The team is affected by the absences. Ribery easy to manage “

Stephen Colantuono, technician of the Salerno, spoke to the microphones of DAZN at the end of the grenade challenge against theEmpoli, important salvation battle valid for the ninth day of A league. The former coach, among others, of Palermo And Atalanta, took over from Fabrizio this week Beavers. The blues prevailed 4-2 on Salerno, scoring even four goals in the first forty-five minutes with the brace of Pinamonti, own goal by Strandberg and the network of Cutrone. In the second fraction the grenades enter the field with a different attitude but despite the marking of Ranieri and the Empoli’s own goal Ismajili, the hosts are unable to overcome the disadvantage.

“We were in an emergency, so we were forced to return a three-man defense with which the team had done well. After 12 minutes we were 3 goals down, it was not easy to recover. We also conceded the fourth goal from a penalty, then in the second half the team played a good game. Defense four? We are conditioned in our choices by absences. When important players are missing, the team suffers. I told the boys to pretend the game started 45 minutes late. The game was important and it was not easy after going under immediately. The head left us a bit, but then in the second half we reacted and tried something different. You can start over from this type of speech. Ribery? It is in another category and is easy to manage. Talking about him is superfluous, he played as a great player. We keep it tight, our games will pass a lot from his performances“.
