Andreazzoli: “We have earned some green passes but the goal is salvation”

Last of 2021 for Empoli who are trying to end an unforgettable year with a bang. Return to Serie A and an Oscar-winning first round for Andreazzoli’s team, protagonist of an extraordinary journey. However, the technician, at the press conference, wants to keep his feet on the ground. Especially against Milan.

LIGHTNESS – Empoli can face the challenge with the serenity of relaxed nerves. Even if the word “lightness” doesn’t like the technician very much. “I often hear this term and it seems to me rather excessive. Surely we live a pleasant state of mind, which allows us to play even a little carefree, but woe to exaggerate. If against Milan and in general against such well-equipped teams you play without the due respect, there is a risk. I expect a lot of difficulties, the Rossoneri have important numbers, we know what to do, but it is one thing to think about it, another is to succeed. “

TWO FACES – Empoli, results in hand, managed to play much better against the big teams. “Even against Spezia I saw a productive team. Obviously by productivity I don’t mean the chances that you manage to complete but also the interpretation of the match. Then it is clear that playing in open spaces is easier for everyone, because building the game becomes a more viable option for a team that is looking for it anyway because we play football to impose ourselves. “

Andreazzoli, however, believes that, net of the results obtained so far, the goal was and must remain that of permanence. At this point to be obtained soon and well. “We have earned some green passes, we have acquired conviction and confidence by playing important games and this has helped us to enter the field with greater self-esteem. But we know where we have to be in May. it is reaching the level of salvation. Nobody has to lift their feet from the ground, Empoli still has many aspects to improve and this makes us think that we can make further progress “.
