Gilardino’s words
“With the players I have had at my disposal in these two weeks, between national and international teams, they have been two weeks of excellent work and attitude from the boys. Excellent sacrifice, both mental and physical. The requests from me and the staff were I highlighted these to the boys. The injured are Gollini, Bani, De Winter, Vitinha, Ekuban, Messias and Malinovskyi: they will not be there. Badelj and Frendrup need to be evaluated.”
The words of Italian
“Unfortunately we have 4 new injuries. I’m sorry because we always talk about how well we can work during the breaks, then when the national teams arrive they come back with a few minutes in their legs, but in this round we lose Aebischer, Ndoye, Iling and Erlic, Lucumi is back today and worked separately. We’ll work one game at a time, we’ll be ready, but I’m very sorry about this situation with the national team returning, we’ll have a lot of commitments in the next 20, I’m not happy.”
