John Lopezcoach of AlbinoLeffe, presented tomorrow’s match against Padova like this: “We worked well during the week – he began -. We prepared ourselves as best we could to be able to approach a very difficult match in the ideal way, against the team that is demonstrating field of being the strongest in group A. This Padova team has a deep squad, with high quality elements in every sector and extraordinary defensive solidity. It has no particular weak points, but we have already shown that we can play on equal terms against all teams great players in the group: we will also face this duel aware of our strength.”
The Lombard coach expects a shake-up: “Lately we have reaped less than we sowed, but football is also made up of moments like this. However, by continuing to do things well – with performances always at a certain level – we will gain satisfaction of a certain weight, keeping our audience entertained. The injured players? We are gradually making up for all those absent (only Vinzioli is among the unavailable, ed.) from the last few weeks, the group is almost complete in view of a very intense week”.
