Vincenzo Montella warned Sampdoria are “tense and fragile” after a fourth consecutive defeat.
The Blucerchiati were crushed 3-1 on home turf by Sassuolo this evening, meaning he has lost all three games since taking over from Walter Zenga, scoring two goals and conceding 10.
“I saw a game where the team tried to bring forward the ideas we’ve been developing over the last few days,” said the Coach in his Press conference.
Vincenzo Montella warned Sampdoria are “tense and fragile” after a fourth consecutive defeat.
The Blucerchiati were crushed 3-1 on home turf by Sassuolo this evening, meaning he has lost all three games since taking over from Walter Zenga, scoring two goals and conceding 10.
“I saw a game where the team tried to bring forward the ideas we’ve been developing over the last few days,” said the Coach in his Press conference.
“Sassuolo are certainly well-drilled and more of a team than we are right now. We couldn’t have chosen a worse opponent for this moment of the season.
“After Sassuolo hit the woodwork, my team just melted and paradoxically only started playing with clear heads after going 3-0 down. That’s the attitude I want to see all the time.
“The players are far too tense and to do better they must enjoy their football more. This is the time to prove we are a good team.
“It’s not that the players don’t work hard, they do, but the team is so fragile right now and I don’t see how a training retreat would help.
“As they say in football, we need that little bit of luck to restore confidence. If Ervin Zukanovic’s goal had been scored when it was still 0-0, the team would’ve played with a different attitude.
“We are wounded and must tend to those wounds.”
