Grosso, bitter debut: "The game should never be left. Balotelli out? Normal, in ten. He doesn't chase the man …"

KO – The Ko at the debut is very heavy: the worst defeat of the championship and, for the first time, the idea of ​​a team not up to par. Grosso, on Sky Sport microphones, imagined a different debut. Instead he finds himself with a served poker. And a complicated relationship immediately. "We talked to the president we discussed what happened. In the first part the team was contracted. The double penalty conditioned it, then the red card decided it. The team had a reaction that I liked very much, but the third goal cut our legs. We must not fall apart, the game should never be left. We would have lost anyway, but we must not untie ourselves that way. We cannot afford these luxuries. I believe in their qualities. We must be good at knowing how to resist."

Balotelli – The feeling is that there has been no change of pace, especially on an emotional level. The moment was critical, like that of Toro, but Mazzarri's team responded very differently from Brescia. The road seems uphill. The change of Balotelli is a signal to the group but the choice to change it has not been repaid: "I left Balotelli on the bench because he has great qualities, but his characteristic is not to chase opponents when the team is with one man less. It seems like a normal choice. I am aware that our road is difficult, but I consider it a beautiful and stimulating challenge. This is a game that embitters, but we can draw great lessons, but finding again carefree and enthusiasm we can reach the goal ".
