At the eve of the home match against Genoa, the "bianconero" coach spoke at a press conference. Here are his words.
There comes an opponent at a bad time.
"That's why it's a dangerous match, because the worst moments pass and the important performances are around the corner. They will have important morivations, after some peculiar weeks. They won in Empoli. They are in psychological distress, but they still have good players. departures and injuries have affected their path. We have to face the competition with our look, very precise. Who fear most? Veloso has great technique; Simeone is a quality player, in some ways already mature. Burdisso is an expert, Laxalt has a good step. They are not bad individually. I respect Genoa, because I know the environment and I know that tomorrow will not be as easy game as you may think. The fans of Genoa strongly believes in their colors. It was a difficult week fo hem, full of anger, but it can also turn into a positive motivation."
How are the players who have returned this week?
"They are all well. Karnezis will play, that's for sure. The other we'll see. I still have a bit of time to think about it. I just have to think about their use over the long term. But they are well. They all want to play, I will make the choices tomorrow morning. The group since I have arrived is very solid and everyone acts accordingly. The group is more important than the individual, always. "
Thursday Ewandro and Evangelista have caused a stir. Will you be able of launchong them?
"I always hope that all the guys put me in trouble, then it all depends on the characteristics of the players and the opponents. The team also needs structural changes during construction. Evangelista instead of Jankto? In a friendly match he responded well but for this it's not sure if he will play. The role is congenial to him. He's on the run and will play his chances like the others. Even Kums can make the midfielder, certainly. The team has a very clear structure and it's certainly not a good time to make too many experiments. We will miss two players, Jantko and Fofana, 11 goals in the season. Despite this, our goal is still the same: good teamwork."
There will br a turnover for Naples?
"It will be limited, by force, to Jankto. We have a team structure that we can easily afford to recover in time for Saturday night. I don't think we need to turnover. I'll make my choices from time to time, fielding the 11 best. "
By winning, Udinese would exceed the last installment of the points. And Is this one more motivation?
"We must always be ready to improve. Overcoming the points made last year is our next step, after having improved the goals scored. The real word is "get" as many points as possible, and we must exploit this climate of serenity to do so until the last minute of the very last game. "
Patron Pozzo said that he wants to continue with you on the bench. What is your position on the subject?
"I'm from Friuli, who more than I may want to stay here. I'm happy with words of Paron and if the conditions are met, there will be no problems to continue. However for me to talk about the future has never been a problem, because with the company there is always a great relationship. "
