Live TMW
The Venice prepare for the very delicate home match scheduled for tomorrow at 3pm against Atalanta at the Penzo Stadium: Pohjanpalo and his teammates need a jolt to shake up the rankings. 4 points have been collected by the Orange-Greens so far, who, despite some excellent performances, have paid dearly for the constant carelessness and lack of malice in front of goal.
The lagoon technician Eusebio Di Francesco will shortly speak at a press conference, follow the live text of his words here on TuttoMercatoWeb, starting from 12.35pm.
The press conference begins at 1.45pm
How did the Nationals return?
“We let them recover as much as possible, without major loads. I will make the final assessments in the evening. Not only are those who play from the start important, but also who takes over.”
We know Atalanta. How can it be stopped?
“Atalanta have had ups and downs. Some great performances, others less important, but they are the most aggressive team in the championship, I think individual duels are important.”
How’s Duncan?
“He’s ready to play. He’s an important player.”
Goals scored from dead balls: have you worked on this too?
“The more you bring them to your side, the more you increase the risk. These episodes on the corners have affected us. When you concede 12-13 clearly the risk increases. We took 50%.”
Bjarkason?
“We hope to recover it at the next stop.”
Is it possible to see Oristanio and Yeboah together in the future?
“Absolutely yes, but we also need balance. Yeboah has great inspiration and quality. The problem is that he has trained very little with us, also to know the team mechanisms well.”
The challenge with Gasperini?
“He is one of the most advanced coaches, he is one of those who I voted for the most in the Golden Bench, to make you understand how much I appreciate his work. He has given continuity to his work”.
Retegui?
“You could also see in Genoa that he had quality, inside the area he is very dangerous. He is also more collaborative with his teammates in development.”
On the goalkeeper: why does he always bring 4? Can he give an opportunity after Joronen’s poor run of form?
“He’s a great professional, he always trains to the max. Tomorrow I have to decide, I’m making some assessments, whether he or Stankovic will play. On the other question: I always bring as many guys as I can to make them feel involved.”
Is the team angry?
“There is regret, because the team trained really well. There are things to improve and the boys have the desire to straighten out those matches where we would have deserved more, starting from tomorrow and starting from one assumption: the performance. we are hurt by ourselves, it is something to avoid as much as possible.”
Is Zampano okay? However, the fans believe it.
“On the fans: I was at a fan club, I felt great warmth, it’s up to us now to drag the fans along. On Zampano: he had a little problem in finishing after Verona, I left him out because I wasn’t able to evaluate him.”
Haps?
“The only training he did with us was today. Goal for the national team? I’ll pull his ears (laughs, ed.)”.
The press conference ends at 1.02pm
