Frosinone lost 1-0 to Cagliari in Sardinia, with Michel Adopo scoring the goal in the defeat. Frosinone went into the weekend in sixth place in Serie A after being promoted from Serie B over the summer.
Alvini reflects on the result
“We return home empty-handed,” Frosinone coach Massimiliano Alvini told Sky Sport Italia.
He added: “It wasn’t the best approach at the start, but we still had plenty of scoring opportunities, so there are regrets at the result. All credit to Cagliari, but we could’ve gone home with something today.”
Control and chances
“We didn’t grab hold of the game the way we should’ve done, and when we did have it in hand, we were unable to make the most of our chances. Maybe we weren’t as sharp as usual, and need to do better against defences who clam up,” Alvini told Sky Sport Italia.
Alvini on Calò
Speaking about Calò, Alvini said: “He can be like Jorginho or Andrea Pirlo.”
He continued: “It is a matter of characteristics and qualities. Italy won the Euros with Jorginho, that type of player, and before that the World Cup with Pirlo in that role. Today, we hand the midfield over to Niccolò Fagioli, while Alessandro Romano is more of a mezz’ala in my view.”
Alvini said: “Calò might be 29 years old, but he can still have his say, and bring the kind of passing vision there that Italy has always had. Seeing as Manuel Locatelli is injured, I believe Calò could’ve been in the squad and would suit Mancini’s team.”
