Venezia, 7 October 2023 – Crociati defender Enrico Delprato spoke after Venezia vs Parma in Serie BKT matchday 9.

'We knew it would be a difficult game, especially at home, where they are very strong. We conceded a bad goal at the start of the second half, but the reaction from the team was good. Then, the game became stretched and we conceded the second. We stayed in the game: even when we were 3-1 down we kept creating; there was a good reaction. If we had had a few more minutes, then we would have had a chance to equalise. We made some mistakes; it's our first defeat in nine games, so we just have to think about going again after the international break. There are games where, for whatever reasons, you just can’t find the back of the net. In the first half, although we didn't have a lot of the ball, we created the best chances. The break? Several of our players will be away with their national teams, but those who are staying here will keep pushing as hard as ever. Let's put this game behind us. The break now allows us to work more with the coach and to analyse the mistakes we made and to start again all together.”
