Italian: “Out Bonaventura and Biraghi. Am I the only one who loses? I do not agree”

Nico Gonzalez? In the final meters we know that it can be decisive. His companions must be more concrete in these circumstances. Training serves to fill the gaps. On an individual level we need to be more convinced that we can do harm. The more we direct the games in our favor, the less problems we can have.

How are the players in doubt? Tomorrow Bonaventura and Biraghi are out, Ikoné has trained, feels less pain and will be available. Cukaricki is young and never gives up. He always stays in the game, but that’s how it works in Europe. Tomorrow we could hurt, but we will have to be more concrete.

Beltran outside? I think he can only be stationed in a central position, he lives to play in that area. He is suffering. The boys know they could have scored more. I like his attitude. The attackers have to work more, for example on dirty balls, they have to do their part, they have to have some intuition. The way they work they don’t deserve the score they get.

Pierozzi? He went to the Primavera to get minutes in his legs, we want to put him back in line with the others also because Dodò’s injury put us in difficulty. Kayode is doing amazing things, but he can’t play them all. We will try to exploit it.

Choosing between Championship and Conference League? The sentence about the objective was not reported correctly (refers to the interview given to La Stampa, ed.). We care about the Conference League and the Italian Cup will start later. The answer was: ‘I would like to gain some positions in the championship.’ I didn’t say we will choose. We care a lot about doing well in all competitions.

The defeat against Empoli? We could have done more. Matches like Monday’s can also end differently, the reaction was there. External voices must not influence us. We will never find alibis, we will never feel sorry for each other. As long as we are in three competitions we will try to go fast. There are no objectives precluded for this team.

Ikoné? He is a player with great ideas, he must improve in the final phase because he must become more decisive. He must be more demanding of himself. He doesn’t like playing on the left, but rather converges on the pitch to play with his teammates. He has unique characteristics. From right to left he can express himself in the best way, but we have to convince him that he can also do well starting from the left.

Maxime Lopez? He’s a very intelligent boy, he’s starting to understand what’s going on around him. His time will come. It’s a good thing that he can play from the start tomorrow. He must grow in minutes and continuously. There are many competitions, there will be opportunities for everyone.”
