The coach is confident ahead of the delicate survival clash: “We have to think only of ourselves, trying to be more concrete in front of goal. I have many good players, I have to be good at finding the right setup every time”
The defeat againstInter it represented an almost natural and obvious step, in the difficult but nevertheless good path that the Pisa is having this season. The objective is clear: to give everything until the end to try to reach the salvation. And a lot passes through tomorrow’s home match, 3pm, against Parma. A real clash that is fundamental for staying in Serie A that the Tuscans absolutely don’t want to make mistakes.
And the black and blue technician, Alberto Gilardino he loaded the environment like this: “Tomorrow we will have to take strength from our quality, from our DNA and also from our fans. We have to think exclusively about ourselves. As a team, group and city, I believe it is a fundamental aspect for tomorrow’s match. We know how much work we have done in recent months. And we are aware of the individual and collective improvements. With Parma, great mental strength will be needed. We have to demonstrate physical and tactical growth and awareness“.
The former 2006 World Champion then indicates the aspect that his team needs to improve: “In our journey so far we have had good moments and also made mistakes. We must be concrete when we enter the opponent’s area and when we attack the goal. We will always be on a ship in the middle of the sea. Only with a good crew will we be able to enter the port“.
Pisa, Gilardino has clear ideas: “Parma have a lot of quality, but we only have to think about ourselves. Cuadrado still out”

Gilardino obviously has Parma’s qualities well in mind, but invites us to think above all of ourselves: “Races like those of tomorrow they focus on details and maintain extremely high attention. Parma have great experience in defense and quality players on the flanks. And above all prominent players in attack such as Bernabé, Pellegrino and Cutrone. But we know what to do. I want to think of ourselves as a team group, without seeing the results of the others and the ranking“.
The coach then takes stock of unavailable players and recoveries: “Akinsanmiro, Vural, Lusuardi and Esteves will come with us on the retreatthen we will evaluate the use. Cuadrado, Denoon and Stengs however will not be there. We have to find the most suitable men in terms of characteristics and who we are going to play against. Nzola e Master they did well with Inter but I have players who are very reliable like Lorran, Moreo and Buffon or Tramoni and I have a choice in understanding and finding the best solutions”“.
For Gilardino the focus must remain exclusively on tomorrow’s match, without thinking about the January transfer window or which players, how Nzola or Akinsanmiro himself will soon go in African Cup: “At the moment there is no such thought, we haven’t talked about the market yet. Our priority is to think about one game at a time. As for who will go to Africa, I am convinced that others will be ready when called“.
