Venezia-Cremonese: post match

At the end of Venezia-Cremonese, Day 35 of the Serie BKT 2023/24 championship, which finished with the result of 2-1, Venezia coach Paolo Vanoli and Bjarki Bjarkason analyzed the match as follows.

Paolo Vanoli
"In the first half we were a little slow and played with little personality against a great team. To be protagonists we need everyone and today it showed again, we are a great team and together with the push of our public we will give everything to chase our dream. Soccer is strategy, we knew they would press us high. The action of Bjarkason's goal is how I imagined our offensive phase, we were all good even those who took over and we have to continue on this path. The boys had so much desire to do well that maybe they were surprised a little at the beginning, but then they did an outstanding second half. I am a passionate coach, I want to fully experience both the negative and positive moments. It's a pleasure to see my boys play like this, we may not be perfect but we know how to go through and handle the difficulties we encounter. In the first half we lost a bit of lucidity in the goal we took, we have to improve in this respect but maybe it was also due to the tension of the match. I wanted more personality from the team and in the second half they believed in it and they were great.“

Bjarki Bjarkason
"When I came in I wanted to make those 45 minutes giving everything, I had the energy and the leg to be able to help the team and I'm glad I did. To score a goal was beautiful, maybe it is the most important goal of the season on a personal level and I dedicate it to the fans who were fantastic today. In the first half we were not playing as much soccer as we would have liked, in important games that can happen. In the second half we overcame those difficulties and won three very important points. We focus on what we can control, so the last three games to go."
