VERONA – Samir Handanovic has urged his fellow team-mates to work together in order to respond to defeat on the opening day of 2016/17 against Chievo Verona.
"What am I angry about? A lot of things," said the Nerazzurri keeper after the game at the Stadio Bentegodi. "There's not much to talk about today, we have to just turn the page and think about how we can work better. I could point to thousands of excuses but we all just need to work hard to find a way to react.
"It's difficult to put your finger on what was missing this evening. Was our fitness below peak condition? We're not at 100%: we've done a lot of travelling and had to do our preparations in this manner. I don't think that's the fault of a coach."
Handanovic also had a word to say on the exploits of fellow Slovenian Valter Birsa: "Birsa is a good friend of mine and played well tonight. His strike for the second goal was superb.
"I don't like looking for excuses, let's get back to winning ways next Sunday."
