1.58pm – The press conference begins.

A match in which everything will be played out in ninety minutes:
“I said that against Empoli I was worried because I knew what team Empoli are, the euphoria I had seen I had tried to calm it even in the conference and I wasn’t listened to. There’s the last match, to date we are safe, but we will have to play with our heads even more than we did, we have to use our strengths without thinking about anything else. If we want to think about resolving the match in the first half or if we want to wait for the other fields, I see it as tough we have to play to try to win the match without calculations, with intelligence. Frosinone will have to try to play the match, to win, they have a double result in case of news from Empoli, but I don’t think they will make calculations of this type.”

Could having only one result to chase be a small advantage?

“I can agree, it almost seems as if it is only and exclusively our problem, but everyone has the problem. Frosinone knows that there is a team that will try to put them in difficulty, Empoli will play against a of the best teams in the second round, when I signed they already thought we were dead, but I knew that these two games were the most important matches and we are here because I have some men. You know the difficulties in management, the physical problems, who went on the pitch he made an incredible effort, now I expect the last one, it’s a mountain to climb but we want to put the flag.”

At home against Empoli we hoped for a different outcome:
“The first three days were difficult but I warned the boys, Empoli knows how to make you play badly and if you adapt you can lose, in fact in the ninetieth minute we lost. Today I had them all available for the first time, they have always been all present by the fans to the club, I hope that the men we have had until now will continue to carry forward this effort.”

The injured? How many minutes does Davis have?
“Pereyra also told me in Lecce that he was ready, but then he was limping like me (laughs ed.). As men they give availability, then they have to be evaluated, Thauvin rejoined the group today, Pereyra will do so tomorrow, I’ll have to start counting how many minutes they can do. In a normal situation you would always let them play because they make you change games, but the emergency has continued practically for the whole year. It will be up to us to understand whether to make him play from the start, to use him as a substitute because he is successful always bringing life back to the situation.”

Samardzic?
“I spoke to him again, he can improve in certain situations, sometimes he loses balls in a stupid way. Since I arrived he has been a player who has given us quality, guys like him, Thauvin and Pereyra are welcome.”

Can Brenner give that little bit more?

“I told him, in the one-on-one from players like that I expect that something extra and not for him to go back because he comes from a difficult period. He knows that the club is focusing a lot on him, between now and Sunday I will have to evaluate many things , compared to the others he is physically better.”

A banner “Win for us and our Friulian friends” appeared in Rome. Is there still a thought for that match?
“I said it, one point more for us and two points less for Roma in those very particular twenty minutes. I hope they don’t weigh on you and that they remain a memory. I think Roma will play their game, then it’s normal that if someone he wants to put pressure on after Empoli he can do it, I think the Roma players will go there to compete, no one wants to go on the pitch to lose, I’m calm, but I don’t trust anyone and therefore I have to make the players understand that we have to think about ourselves “.

How are the others?

“Walace is recovered, he too had a problem, he trained little this week, the others are calm for now. Then there are many games in the match, we will have to make as few mistakes as possible… then I already know that whatever the choice will be otherwise I will have made a mistake (laughs ed.)”.

An exodus of fans is expected despite the logistical difficulties:
“What I saw on Sunday is what every match must be, an atmosphere like this is perfect for playing football, the fans were exceptional on Sunday as they were in Bologna, in Lecce, as they will be in Frosinone with a long journey. They are giving us something, we must give them something back.”
