"Cremonese is a tough team to play against. In the first half, they played at a very high tempo, and we struggled with ball possession. We took a risk on a shot and missed a lot of chances. Estupinan came on and did a great job, which shows they're an extraordinary team."
"It was important to win today to erase the defeat against Parma, get three important points on the board, get closer to our goal, and prepare well for the derby. The players who came on today did well, as they often do."
"Right now, it's a one-off solution because, when the tempo is high, it's normal for the wingers to have to work hard, too, and so we lose a bit of focus. At that point in the game, we needed attacking players."
