Spezia coach Vincenzo Italiano claims it was not easy to prepare the Udinese game in one training and regrets Riccardo Saponara’s red card.
The newly promoted Serie A side suffered a 1-0 home defeat at hands of Udinese in the lunch-time match on Sunday.
“We faced the game well, it was decided by a mistake. We did everything we could to turn things around, but we were not clinical,” Italiano said at a press conference.
Spezia played Napoli away earlier this week and were eliminated from the Coppa Italia quarter finals.

“We faced the game well, it was decided by a mistake. We did everything we could to turn things around, but we were not clinical,” Italiano said at a press conference.
Spezia played Napoli away earlier this week and were eliminated from the Coppa Italia quarter finals.
“It’s not easy to prepare such a difficult game with only one training,” Italiano continued.
“We could have picked up one point, but I liked the behaviour of my players, the path is still long.”
Riccardo Saponara was sent off in the second half after Udinese’s Rodrigo De Paul had seen red.
“It’s a pity, everything became more complicated after Saponara’s red.
“We could have scored the equaliser if we were up one man.”
