The post-match of Bari - Venezia FC

April 18, 2026

At the end of the match between Bari and Venezia FC, valid for matchday 35 of Serie BKT and finished 0–3 in favor of the orange-and-green side, head coach Giovanni Stroppa and striker Andrea Adorante analyzed the game as follows.

Giovanni Stroppa, Venezia FC head coach
It’s a paradoxical situation: we are having, and have had, an extraordinary season, but the teams behind us are keeping the same pace. There are three matches left—it’s true there isn’t much time—but that little bit we have to earn. We can’t stop at this performance and this result; we need consistency.
Since July we’ve been carrying this wonderful weight on our shoulders. It’s an extraordinary season, built through an equally extraordinary journey, but we absolutely must keep our focus and concentration high. The points that the top teams have now would have been enough to win the league in other seasons, so we must continue like this. By maintaining this level of performance, the future can be really important.
I was very worried before the match, but we were very good at staying focused and balanced, without conceding anything to Bari. There were a couple of dangerous situations, but we handled them well. For the rest, the match was under control and I congratulate the team.
I think there are similarities with the match in Chiavari: by a matter of centimeters, with Adorante’s goal we would have gone 2–0 up and the match would have changed. The dry artificial pitch didn’t allow us to make the most of some favorable situations. I also pointed out an incident at the end that could have been sanctioned, and without that sending-off, the match might have taken a different turn. That said, Entella showed their value with their own weapons.
Today we saw balance and consistency in doing what we always try to bring onto the pitch. It wasn’t easy to find space to highlight the players’ qualities, but after the 2–0 the match became easier

Andrea Adorante, Venezia FC striker
Today we took home three points with a good performance on a difficult pitch. Bari are a well-prepared team, but today we showed great strength. We also got back to winning away from home, and we’re happy about that—we’ll keep fighting match after match. Today I scored my 16th goal; I’m happy and I thank all my teammates. Trying to dominate the game and keep possession is part of our DNA, and with everyone’s contribution we will keep pursuing our objectives.”
