The Venice he is a guest tomorrow at 3pm ofAtalanta Of Gian Piero Gasperini.

At Atalanta, only the compliments for the path made in recent years, for the growth, knowledge of the players with respect to the coach’s ideas, should be made.

Venice, Di Francesco before Atalanta

“If someone does not recover? We have lost Zampano for the fever – explains the technician Arancionerdende -, he is still at home, Sharko has stopped again. He will not be among the convened. For the rest we will have the same, less sagrade. What do I think of the play of Atalanta? I spoke often, even too much, because he also takes inspiration from a coach like Gasperini. Congating him because I seemed angry after Lazio?

If the attitude has ever been missing? No, but sometimes it seemed to me that we worried more to lick the wounds than to react.

If I expect the ferocious attitude seen with Lazio? This team has changed a little skin. Sometimes some falls, the ups and downs, can be there. But we can afford few. These guys really train with great desire. Things must arrive because the group deserves more “.

Still between

“If, as Atalanta plays, playing with two light attackers can be a solution? Everything can be a solution – clarifies Fra -, but I saw a growth from the attackers. Fila, then Maric made a game in growing. They are important things for us.

If Atalanta is from Scudetto? Maybe after ours. They showed everyone what they are made of. They won the Europa League, remembering it, it is a great goal, they worry great teams like Inter and Naples.

If Duncan is ready to play? He is ready to give us a hand, I still don’t know if from the first minute, it is a little premature, but it is growing on condition and can give a lot even having it with us on the bench, because it transfers to the others the certainties we need. In the games against them often physicality is the master.

If I agree that this team seems to be missing only a spark to do more conviction what he knows, both as a collective and as individuals? Absolutely yes. It really takes nothing, we are always there and it is one thing for everyone. He must take and will start, we are there and we will continue to be there. It will come, I’m super convinced “.
