After the match, Zanetti admitted, "Losing 3-0 at home requires us to take responsibility first and foremost. We cannot make excuses for our mistakes. The first goal was a brilliant strike, but we struggled to break through the opponent's defense afterwards. We need to learn from this and improve in our future matches."

"Then we stretched out, their goalkeeper was the best on the pitch, two saves on the line, the team tried, with Venezia we managed to get them back on their feet, today we didn't manage it but situations like the second or third goal make you angry. They were two goals from a clearance by the goalkeeper with Djuric who hurt us after we had even managed to contain him up until that point.

"It's normal that a 3-0 makes us see everything negative but it's not all negative, we need to analyze the game with clarity. To date the team has conceded too many goals but our attitude has brought us to a good position in the standings up to this point.

"There is no point now in just spitting s*** about the team, on my part, and continuing the path we have started, continuing with the good offensive phase and improving a defensive phase that is now lacking."
