Venezia, 7 October 2023 - Crociati Head Coach Fabio Pecchia spoke after Venezia vs Parma in Serie BKT matchday 9.

'It's not a slip-up, the opponents played well. It was a great match with many chances, a very open game. We had the chance to go ahead, but then quickly conceded twice afterwards. In the most important period of the game, Venezia came out on top and showed they really wanted the win. I saw a lot of positives; we have to keep working as we are. The response at 3-1 down? There were so many positive things, as I said. We made mistakes, we conceded goals but the reaction was there. Venezia got the better of us when the match was in the balance. The desire, even at 3-1, to keep pushing and play our game is a credit to the team. I congratulate the boys, there was the right spirit out there that really pushed Venezia; we have to accept the defeat and move on. This is what is most important, but when you lose it always hurts.'
