Before Sunday's match in Turin against the "granata", the "bianconeri" coach Gigi Delneri speaks in a news conference. Here are his words.
How is the team after the stop?
"The stop idn't hel much. We still have guys with problems. I'm talking about Thereau, Karnezis, Fofana, Felipe. Hopefully, apart Fofana, they will be able to recover for the next games. The team is motivated and has proven to be solid, capable of giving results. "
How's De Paul's growth?
"He's adapting to a role that originally was not among in its features. It has great room for improvement in the future, especially in teamwork. In this sense it is working very well. He's finding the way of goals and this is important, especially for the team. From this point of view we are back in the stages of our journey, which is to improve last year's score, for points and goals scored, cultivating our project ".
How is Zapata?
"I think he has important reasons, surely more of any fatigue. The call of the national team is a major leap for him, confirmed the excellent work he is doing here. He 's back in good condition and did not play the second game. The age and strength are on his side and from the psychological point of view is very excited. Unless something unexpected happens he will definitely be in the game. "
Torino is in your reach, even if in home they are deadly.
"The taurus is built for other purposes, which are not ours. It has the top scorer. It has national titulars. For us it's an umbalanced game on paper, football is made of field expressions and this has to be a motivation for us. They are a physical team, but we have showed that we can create difficulties for them. "
How's Jankto?
"If he didnt have enthusiasm, he would be off like everyone else. He, like others, are beginning to enjoy a little major football, touching first-hand how work pays. This satisfaction for them is a source of growth, because they are kids who are not content with only an appearance. they are players who seek stability in what they do. they have a clear line of growth and I hope they can keep all the expectations, for them and for our luck. "
Did you expected the exploit from Belotti? And how do you stop it?
"Fortunately we have a defense which concedes little. Which means that it undergoes fewer shots than the opposing production. We are third in shots on goal conceded. Ours is a team that if we're careful can always struggle others. This has always been our project. To Belotti numbers talks. When a team has a player with so many goals, it can aspire to important goals. "
You can estimate changes in the season finale?
"The module will never deviate from the 4 defense. Large structural changes do not give me security. I believe that the team is protected by a midfield that knows his stuff and can play in different ways."
Expect something more from Perica?
"He cannot play alone. He needs a companion. In Juve he has proved himself as a defender. I liked how he played against Palermo, creating space and going often in the penalty area. Its presence facilitates Zapata, he can and must improve, but the evidence with the rosanero gives me a good feeling. "
In a friendly match we saw a team in a high and continuous pressure. It will be the samer in Turin?
"We have to be careful throughout their attack, and not only Belotti. We face an important team, but we are not afraid, as we have not had the first leg, when they were traveling at a more high tempo."
