12.45 – Good afternoon, friends of TUTTOmercatoWEB! The Empoli coach’s press conference will take place in a few minutes Roberto D’Aversa in view of tomorrow’s match against Inter.
1.00pm – The press conference begins.
How is the team physically after a very demanding match from an energy point of view like the one in Parma?
“We need to think about who we are and who we started with. If we aren’t satisfied with getting a point in Parma, we’ll be making a serious mistake. Then there’s the regret, because in the first half we could have achieved more. There are also the opponents, they made changes that didn’t cause them to lower their intensity, but also to improve. The game against Napoli paid a lot, on a sandy pitch. Having said that, I believe there is the value of the opponent, the management of a young team that must understand that it is more shrewd. As a coach, I have to try to improve every aspect of the boys but then we have to evaluate every aspect.”
The impression is that this team is not yet able to manage itself. Do you agree?
“There had to be a different reading, Almqvist is a player I have trained and I know how he moves. As we concede goals, we spend two or three minutes in which we are absent. This happened against Lazio after conceding the 2-1 goal When you are young you gain experience over time, they are players who come from a path in which they had no continuity. When you come back from injuries it is normal, but the argument is right and it is a price you pay when the team is made up of many young people”
How is De Sciglio seeing?
“Mattia is our most representative player, everything is evaluated. He is one of those who wasn’t very well, his playing time also depended on this. Certainly when he is well he can have his say, both from experience and from technical qualities. He is very good at reading, he has a lot of quality”
