At the end of the match between Sampdoria and Venezia FC, valid for Matchday 30 of Serie BKT, which ended in a 0–0 draw, head coach Giovanni Stroppa and midfielder Gianluca Busio shared their thoughts on the game.

Giovanni Stroppa, head coach of Venezia FC
“For what we created today, it was a match we should have won. We had chances that were simply too big not to come away with the result. However, the point we earned allows us to keep moving in the standings and remain ahead of the teams chasing us. In the first half we found ourselves in front of the goalkeeper several times, and we needed to be able to put the ball in the net. We knew this would be a difficult game, but we were still able to deliver a strong performance, both in terms of the quality of our passing and from a defensive standpoint. We allowed very little to the opponent. Coming to the Ferraris and playing like this can only make me satisfied. We have to keep playing this way until the end. All the matches we’ve played so far have been approached in the right way—sometimes more brilliantly with goals, other times without managing to finish our chances. I hope that next Tuesday, in the derby, we’ll be able to deliver our usual performance.”

Gianluca Busio, Venezia FC midfielder
“Today we took home an important point; it was a difficult match. We created many chances to score but couldn’t manage to find the net. We need to improve in the final third and take that extra step to bring home as many points as possible. The performance was there today—we played well, won our duels, and kept possession of the ball. Now we focus on the next game. On Tuesday we’ll take the field for the derby; it’s a very important match for us and for the fans, and we’ll work to be at 100%.”
