"I think we have good youngsters. I think that's very important. It is also important that the fans and the club have patience. Youngsters will make mistakes like today.

For us, that will happen, it is going up and down for youngsters, and it's just a part where they're learning, and they make the next step. It is imperative," Pezzaiuoli quoted during the post-match press conference.
