"We need to be better with the ball than we did in the last eight games. We’re also strong in set-pieces that makes us extremely dangerous. The clean sheet was particularly important in the last game because it gives us a bit of confidence. We have to be patient through the 90 minutes and press the lines, but we want to have the ball as soon as possible. We’re not waiting for the opponent to decide what we want to do; we want to decide for ourselves," Pezzaiuoli said during the pre-match press conference that you can watch above.
