Tomorrow at the ‘Menti’ in Castellammare against Juventus Stabia, Eugenio Corini will make his debut as coach of Cremonese. These are his words about tomorrow’s match in the usual press conference the day before (source Heartgreyred):
Debut in a competition in which there are many topics to cover. There are many expectations.
“We are facing a team that is doing very well, coming off a good championship won in Serie C. They are playing good football again, we are aware of the work done by them and the strength of the opponent. We have trained well, I want to see the things we try I saw great preparation from our boys. The match is a test of all this. For the opponent it is a complicated match, but the difficulties must be faced.”
The modules are liquid, there is no default one.
“They dribble a lot, they have the ability to pass you under pressure. We have an idea of how we worked to counter their style of play. We want to recover the ball, they dribble well and have certain solutions to get out of certain situations. Second me, from the perception we have had, something we have worked on will be on the pitch. If we put it down in a certain way, we can do well. Our values are important, it is based on the mentality that must be the right one fundamental to raise the technical quality: only in this way can certain values emerge.
Who will be unavailable? A comment then on the first ten days of work even without national teams.
“Johnsen’s recovery is progressing well, on Monday when we return from Castellammare he should be fully back in the group. Ceccherini felt discomfort in his calf during the first training sessions when I arrived, the tests unfortunately highlighted a lesion. Castagnetti returned this week in stages, he has to work a lot, but his importance in the group, even on a character level, is fundamental. It was important for him to be back in the group, with work he will be in an adequate condition again. I found them to be good and very motivated, I had also spoken on the phone with him them when I had just arrived.”
During his management, as well as tomorrow, there is the intention to make more use of the qualities of the attacking wingers in the squad, which have so far been little seen. The various Johnsen, Zanimacchia, Vandeputte…
“Intelligent question, but if I answer you in a certain way you can understand things about training! We will try to enhance them for what their aptitudes are”.
Do you prefer an attack that works vertically or a team that moves up?
“Stroppa’s work was very important in controlling the game. When you overcome a certain pressure, you have to become fast. A job that had already started with the previous management. We tried to make the boys aware of the spaces that become free and how to go there Their defense is very aggressive, we have to try to put them in difficulty with certain movements. Then it’s clear that we play with one striker, two or so on based on how the game goes “.
Football was once more easy-going, today it is a science. Standing opportunities become fundamental: we have often had players who took to the pitch with their feet reversed. What will it be like with her?
“It depends on the situations, the fundamental thing is that up to the last meter there is depth to attack. When I talk about going vertical it means stretching the opposing team a lot, we are working a lot from this point of view. I must say that we However, there are many principles that were in fashion when I was still playing and which are still current today. Over time, things are slightly modified, today we want to put on a show. Dead balls are certainly fundamental: we have many jumpers, even the ones opponents score 30-32% of goals in these situations.”
A message to the fans: around a hundred in Castellammare tomorrow. In recent times they have shown some discontent.
“When a team presents itself, it represents a city, a fan base. Sometimes the weeks are conditioned by the team’s performance and we want to give joy. Going away is a further sacrifice, there is an incredible love for the team underneath We will work to give satisfaction to them, to everyone. We will not lack support and we will have to deserve it: we need a performance aimed at achieving the result.”
Majer played practically all the time in his Lecce team. Here he was often used as an alternative to Castagnetti in the middle of a three-man midfield.
“I think he is a dribbler, he also has the quality to enter and kick from outside the area. He can also play close to a midfielder, as he has already done. He is flexible and very important for the category. In Lecce for me he was a starter and he has all the quality to leave an important mark in Cremona. More than what has been done so far”.
