Empoli, Gemmi: “Happy for this start but we are focused on safety”

Roberto Gemmi, sporting director of Empoli, gave an interview to Sport Mediaset shortly before the Coppa Italia match against Torino:

Happy with this start?

“We are very happy with this start, we know that there will be difficulties and that difficult periods and moments will come. We are preparing ourselves in managing these moments, it will be key to obtaining our salvation”.

What do you think of the team full of young Italians?
“We believe a lot in this project and in the young people we have. The coach was a deliberate choice, we haven’t had any problems and there is great unity of purpose”.

Are you considering any free agents after Sazonov’s injury?
“We are thinking about how to move forward after this injury. I wish the boy well, I hope he can recover soon. We are thinking about whether it is the case to include a free agent, even if it is difficult.”

How suggestive is the hypothesis of a derby with Fiorentina?
“The first objective is to stay up, it is very difficult and we are focused on that. We will enjoy everything that comes”
