“A well-deserved defeat. We lost after Genoa’s first goal.”

Gabriele Cioffi bitterly comments on the defeat against Genoa: “Good for half an hour? You are generous, we played organized for twenty minutes: as soon as we conceded the goal from Genoa, we stopped playing. We must stop this habit because it is not part of our personality. I don't comment on referee decisions because they don't make sense – sporting director Balzaretti previously publicly protested Luca's goal due to a foul on De Winter. unknown – We played better with ten players: we have to start again. We've been down for two months, and that's not the differentiating factor. We have to mature despite the lack of mature players, and I trust the warm stadium in Udine, as was the case in Genoa.”

“It was the worst match for Udinese under my leadership. We were neither the team I wanted. The result was deserved but we held the game to ourselves: if we play 50-50 like in the first half, we are a mediocre team.”
