GENOA – “Genoa has a clear, aggressive mentality, which also uses its fans to create good energy. We must be ourselves, mature, compact, solid, understand the moments of the match”.
MIDFIELD – “We are very fortunate to have players with many different characteristics even in the same role. We have many different characteristics, it allows us to be more flexible and exploit some or others depending on the match. The formation doesn’t have anything to do with it, with four or five you can exploit both central play and with the wingers and also have a good defensive phase. What matters are the principles, also depending on who plays.”
CREMASCHI – “The World Cup was certainly important for him, he contributed a lot. He has very clear characteristics: he is capable of scoring goals, entering and creating spaces with his movements. He can certainly give us a hand.”
BERNABÉ – “Against Lecce he played further forward, against Torino we played with three attacking players. The characteristics of the players allow us to try more things.”
ORISTANIO – “He will not be available tomorrow, he is following his individual path and is not yet ready to compete. We used the break to speed up this recovery, but he is not yet available”.
SOLUTIONS – “It depends on the context, if we analyze the Cagliari match in the second half we had many opportunities to create on the right and build high-value opportunities. In other matches the opponents forced us to play a peripheral game. Even against Lecce who were closed we found solutions, such as Circati’s pass for Pellegrino’s pass on Cutrone. We would like to build more, certainly, but we are on a path of growth. But many can be analysed things, from managing moments of difficulty to pressure and the defensive phase. We will never be perfect, in football you always have ideas. I focus on all the positive things we have done as well as the aspects to improve, we want to have perspective. We know what the path is.”
CUTRONE – “Centralize Cutrone? You see carefully. It’s a possibility, it depends on the characteristics. Patrick likes to play inside, we certainly have to exploit him. If instead we have a player on the wing, his qualities must be exploited. Let’s try to adapt to the characteristics of the players to make the most of his qualities.”
THREE OR FOUR LINE – “I don’t know yet! We’ll see tomorrow.”
INJURED – “Valenti is available. Trabucchi and Plicco will be with the Primavera to strengthen their playing time with the national team. Frigan and Valeri are also not available, as is Oristanio. Hernani and Cremaschi are back with the team.”
ALMQVIST – “He has the ability to create one-on-ones. We must be good at creating a context in which he can make the most of his qualities. Even against Monza we saw that he was comfortable playing higher. We will have to help him as much as possible with our tactics, so that he can make the difference.”
