Leonardo Semplici feels Cagliari ‘did not deserve to lose’ their dramatic 2-1 defeat to Spezia, but they ‘missed two absolute sitters.’
The Sardinians remain in the bottom three after this chaotic loss, but they had the opportunities to equalise both at 1-0 and 2-1.
“It was a good first half performance, but unfortunately at the first indecision after the restart, we conceded a goal and that complicated everything,” Semplici told Sky Sport Italia.
“Then we missed two absolute sitters with Pereiro and Simeone and Spezia scored their second goal. We didn’t give in, we tried everything and the lads gave their all, but you cannot get away with certain errors in these games.”
The Simeone miss was particularly astonishing, as he fired both high and wide from close range.
“We knew that we were up against a Spezia side that would press high and we were the better team in the first half, but that means nothing without a goal to show for it. We couldn’t afford to lose today, but we lost.
“Now we have to go forward and work even harder. When we have the ball, we can do damage, so the team is attacking, but we still make too many mistakes in defence.
“It’s a difficult situation looking at the table, but our destiny is in our hands.”
