In the press conference on the eve of the match, the analysis of the moment and of the match itself by the trainer Raffaele Palladino.
1.00pm – The press conference begins Raffaele Palladino.
Palladino, what type of match do you expect against Lazio? What difference will there be compared to the first leg?
“In the middle of that match there was a group and today at Lazio there is a new coach. That Monza did very well at the Olimpico but now we need to think about Saturday’s match. Igor Tudor is a very good coach, I respect under the previous management he is more cynical and concrete. I was lucky enough to share the dressing room with him in Turin at Juventus and I am happy to face him. I like to think about who I don’t have and haven’t had available we lost many along the way but it’s part of the game. I think we missed them a lot but those who replaced them did very well. Football would be better without injuries but it can’t be like that everything I wanted. However, I always think positively and we need to come out of injuries even stronger.”
Monza hasn’t won for some time. How are you experiencing this moment?
“The team must be defended when there is a need to defend it and it must be attacked when there is a need to attack it. True, Monza hasn’t won for a long time but I have always seen excellent performances. In these cases, when the performance is not lacking, the coach can only don’t be happy. The important thing is to create, in Lecce Colpani tried and it didn’t go well. It was a blocked match, perhaps not spectacular but there was a lot of solidity.”
There are several pieces of news about his future. Is there any news from this point of view?
“I hear all this news but I don’t give it any weight. At the moment the priority is Monza. I’m very focused on the four games we have left and I want to do them to the fullest because we still have many objectives to achieve. My experience with Monza? It happens to me often to go around the city and feel the atmosphere, the fans are very happy and this makes me proud. Like having given joy to them and having improved every single boy is the most rewarding thing which I wouldn’t do again, I feel like I have given everything for this team and have written pages of history of this club together with my staff.”
Which players will not be available against Lazio?
“Andrea Carboni isn’t called up and it’s a big loss. Machin and Ciurria are out while Vignato will go to play with the Primavera. Caprari is fine, he’s called up, but he lacks match pace a bit. Mota Carvalho and Izzo, on the other hand, have recovered “.
1.30pm – The press conference has ended Raffaele Palladino.
