D’Aversa: “Goglichidze didn’t finish training when I arrived, now he looks like a veteran”

Pezzella and Goglichidze are among the positive aspects of the team’s start to the seasonEmpolifor the first time in its history unbeaten in Serie A after six days. He talked about it Roberto D’Aversacoach of the Tuscans, after the 0-0 draw against Fiorentina: “Empoli has shown in its history that it believes a lot in the players of the youth sector, in the Italians. On Pezzella I say that the best years have always been with me. I see the growth of many guys: Fazzini, who was returning from injury, Viti… When I arrived Goglichidze had difficulty completing training. At the moment I brought him in it seems like he has been playing in Serie A for many years only thanks to him, even if he still doesn’t speak a word of Italian, he speaks the language of the field, the most important one.”

Maleh couldn’t come in?
“He got hurt during finishing and we didn’t risk it. Then Anjorin had cramps and I only made one substitution.”

Important signals also from the offensive players and the moves from the bench.
“Henderson played in the attacking midfield position, in general with my staff we tried not to lower ourselves by trying to restart with Solbakken and Ekong. Even in the first half different characteristics could have helped us… I ask the boys for courage and I can’t prove the opposite , the will was to go and win the match. We finished on a high note, the team is physically very well.”
