Vieira’s words in the post-match conference

“The thing that changed is that we went higher and more aggressive. We wanted to do it in the first half too, but Empoli’s quality didn’t allow it. We managed this difficult period, in the second half we played with great personality and I think that the victory is deserved. Absences of Frendrup and Balotelli? Today’s victory was important because we reached Empoli. I don’t want to talk about individuality, the important thing is to be a group. We need everyone, those who came in brought energy to the team.”

Thorsby? We want to use him with his quality, he always likes to put pressure on defenders. He runs a lot, it’s fundamental for us, he has a high quality volume of play. We are still in the teams that have to save themselves. What we understood well is that we must be united. When we read that four thousand of our fans come, it means that we are all on the same page. We have to continue like this but the road is still long”

Arbitrage? I was angry with the team because we lost the ball, but I didn’t ask the referee anything. We just have to think about playing. Vitinha? We all know his qualities, he has been out for two months and he must continue to play to get back to his level.”
