Maurizio Sarri feels Empoli were unlucky in their home 2-1 defeat to Udinese. “We had the feeling we were going to score.”

The Tuscans again impressed for much of the game, but did not turn that into goals or results, scoring only with a debatable Riccardo Saponara penalty.

“We were a little less sharp than in other games. We were also a little unlucky, as in the second half we had the feeling we were going to score and then conceded basically from a mistaken cross,” the Coach said in a Press conference.

“We have to begin again with the same belief and calm as always. Saponara went off because of cramp and had a very good game, as Udinese left spaces between the lines. He resumed where he had left off with us.

“Tonelli received a knock and was struggling to walk. We’ll evaluate tomorrow whether it is serious or just a bruise, but losing him in the game was also a heavy blow.”
