Udinese – Turin | Runjaic on the microphones before the match. The words

The Bianconeri coach attends the press conference valid for the 18th matchday of the championship. The team of Runjaic will face the Turin Of Vanoli al Blueenergy Stadium Sunday 29 December at 12.30pm. Let’s look at the technician’s words.

After this enthusiasm after the victory against Fiorentina and the open training with the fans, what are the pitfalls in facing the match in Turin? How is the group doing?

“In Florence it was definitely a positive victory for us. The week had a positive atmosphere and we had already planned training before that success. The open-door training was already scheduled, but it was even more exciting to do it with this enthusiasm. I met many young people, and it is essential for a club like Udinese to maintain strong ties with their fans, there is a lot of enthusiasm and it can be good. When we are not in possession, we have to work well and try to add quality when we recover the ball. Torino had a good start to the season, but then slowed down the results. However, they have the ability to play very advanced possession. We will have to demonstrate our best performance tomorrow and have the support of our fans to get the three points in our last home game.”

Naivety must be erased: is this the key to the leap in quality?

“I agree with you. We were inadequate at the beginning of the game, but we played well in the second half. We know perfectly well that these errors can have a fatal impact. We had a difficult experience with these errors and we are working to improve every day. If we repeat it continuously, it means that we must learn from what has been done in the past to better understand certain situations, since our goal is to prevent them from happening. We must understand whether they depend on our mistake or on the merit of the opponent.”

“Not yet, we still have to decide. We are doing our reflections and there are still some possibilities that I have in mind.”

Have you had the opportunity to analyze your opponent’s strengths and weaknesses?

“Their defenders are good at playing the ball between their feet and contribute a lot to the build-up from deep. They have aggressive opponents and a very experienced goalkeeper who can be dangerous with his passes during the match. They have three and four tactical solutions available, and we will not have to stay too low or too high to avoid long balls. Furthermore, we must keep our attention on the second balls. We should play as we wish, but we are aware that they play man to man. It is useful to maintain balance and proactivity during the possession phase. He will be brave when he has the ball.”

Which Serie A team left you the most impressed on the pitch?

“After the match in Verona we will be able to establish a budget. Many teams played well against us thanks to their excellent individuality. Many have their own characteristics, such as the structure of Inter or Atalanta, which are difficult to play against Napoli have caused us a lot of problems. It is difficult to play in some circumstances due to the fact that we are all new, but we can learn from these teams, as we did in the first match of the season in Bologna, where we got a good draw to compare ourselves when we repeat them in the group back.”

Unavailable situations? How is Payero?

“Bijol will be able to play tomorrow, while Payero will not be available from the first minute because he did not train enough with the group. It is a pleasure to have such a player with us and I hope that next week we will also have Davis. Everyone will be recovered soon, as well as Zarraga and Giannetti.”

Will there be an opportunity for Sanchez?

“I understand that there is a lot of interest in him, and that’s right. He still needs time to familiarize himself with the team’s procedures, so he won’t be able to start tomorrow. It’s possible that he could play a chunk depending on how the match will go. I still have some doubts regarding the lineup and I will think about it tonight. I am happy to be able to host them in our stadium. However, let’s not forget that our goal is to focus on our team, our position in the table and how a specific race proceeds. I hope all my players are satisfied after tomorrow’s match. It’s my prayer, not just for tomorrow.”

Would expectations be created in case of victory?

“There are a lot of expectations and we are excited. We are in a good place in our process and we know the starting situation. Tomorrow there will be a significant match and then we will play against Hellas Verona. Although there is the possibility of further improving the ranking , our goal is to stabilize. Torino have fallen a little behind, while other teams have higher expectations than us. The mistakes we are making are too common and if we can eliminate them, we can discuss a new step forward. I expect to see a team focused and present on the pitch tomorrow to make the fans feel involved. The fans can be proud of these details, which cannot be explained in words.”

What effect did Pafundi have on the group?

“He is participating in the team’s training sessions. I must say that I have rarely witnessed a talent of this level in terms of his movements, his vision and his possession. It is fun to watch him play football and he is a great talent, but now it is necessary let him adapt to the team and assimilate. He must understand how we play football and understand how he fits into the team. Over the course of the week we have had, we have not participated in many training sessions and I have not watched much. However, his talent leaves me impressed. Furthermore, physical strength is necessary in football for the duels; his goal is to grow and be able to impose his own mark on the team.”

Who on the team left the deepest mark?

“Everyone has had a good run due to their characteristics. Kabasele has played more minutes than last year. He is an excellent professional player and has participated in important matches like Parma. He is always present, regardless of the match, but he is a professional and a good example to follow. Furthermore, I am extremely satisfied with Karlstrom and the way he has quickly adapted to Serie A in an essential position. It is time that he must continue to do so. He is also a calm and attentive man talk about all the players, but how I said, growth is part of our job. There are players who have reached their limits regarding their potential.”
