Aquilani: Bowie was already injured at the time, but we had used all our substitutions

Speaking to Sky Sport Italia after the match, Sassuolo head coach Aquilani said the team had a chance to win the game, but conceded again in the final stages, and Bove also suffered an injury.

Speaking about Volpato and Adzic, Aquilani said: "Volpato suffered an injury, Berardi needs to be managed properly, and Adzic still has a lot of room for growth. I will create the conditions that are most suitable for him to play."

Discussing the team's failure to hold on late in the match, Aquilani said: "This is how we understand the game. Compared with blindly clearing the ball away, playing the ball more cleanly to the feet of the four players further forward actually requires taking greater risks. Unfortunately, we could have won, Bowie was already injured at the time, but we had already used all our substitutions."

Regarding taking Matic off, Aquilani said: "Matic asked to be substituted himself. Otherwise, considering the importance of that moment, I would not have taken him off."
