23.42 – The press conference begins
How angry are you?
“A lot, but I have to be consistent with what I tell my players, we lose or win together and the responsibility is mine, we made mistakes that we should have avoided but I will never come and blame individuals. The team tried until the end and important values came out, guys who go on the field with boldness and mental freedom, in other situations we made mistakes, now I’m interested in the team coming together immediately, finding the energy to become even more of a team. Dawidowicz was destroyed in the locker room, these things happen now he will find the reason within himself, I have to find the right key to make sure these things don’t happen again”.
Where is the main problem with the defense?
“Failing to give continuity to the team after the excellent performance in Genoa, we are losing too many duels as well as naivety that is costing us too much, we are doing well up front, scoring two goals against Torino is not easy, much less with ten men and continuing to try to get back into the game. At home, a spark is enough to bring out that little bit more. We must be more careful, precise, clean and also humble, a team that has to save itself must start first with the goals not to concede because we score up front but we cannot think of beating Torino 4-3. We will work during the week to try not to repeat the mistakes and to let a desire for revenge take over from tomorrow that I think, or rather I am sure is already inside all of us”.
Will anyone return against Como?
“It’s a game to play, difficult as always, I hope to recover Duda and Suslov, Serdar will need another three weeks, he has a second degree injury and will need two months to be reconditioned, Harroui five weeks, Frese has an inflammation, we asked him to grit his teeth, he did it and I’m happy”.
What path can this Turin take in your opinion?
“They are at the top of the table, they started very well, I return the compliments to Vanoli who I think deserves more than me at this moment. They are a team with important values and I think they can have a great championship playing for Europe”.
