Another late free kick, but this time for the opponents saw the Lagunari knocked out of the Coppa Italia before the competition has really even begun. Floro Flores scored for Arezzo in the 100th minute with a free kick, having hit the post earlier in the game. Gennari and Corradi had also hit the woodwork for Venezia.
It's disappointing to be out this early in the competition, but then again, from what I understand, we played pretty well in the second half and were unlucky to have to go to extra-time. Let's face it, this competition is never a priority (for anyone, apart from maybe Inter when they realise once again they can't win Serie A...) but at the same time it's always a bonus to have a good cup run, particularly for a smaller side like us.
Let's just hope these two games have helped us develop more as a team and have helped prepare us for the season ahead. By the sounds of things, we have shown some nice play in these two games, so hopefully we can develop that in advance of the first league game.
Forza Venezia!

All the best teams go out at this stage! I think you can be happy that you beat one decent team and pushed another all the way. Bodes reasonably well for the league season ahead.
must be tricky following your side from Scotland... considering how (relatively) little coverage lower league sides even get in the Corriere dello Sport/la Gazzetta.
bad luck but focus on the positives.
