Lamberto Zaulicoach of Perugia, spoke at a press conference on the eve of the match against Pineto. These are his words reported by calciogrifo.it: “Angella and Montevago? Most likely they won’t be in the match, also considering what they gave in the last match and the fact that more close matches await us. There will be forced changes, also given the three important absences for the national teams. There were three starters lately. In terms of injuries, there is a problem that has attacked the defense and which has affected the start of the championship a bit, but we are turning the page. The guys who will be called into action will have the task of being ready. I’m capable of playing an excellent match.”
“Ask for postponement given the summons? We considered the possibility and would have done it, but a player called up to the national team must have 30% of the caps. Plaia didn’t do them but he was a starter for us recently.”
“Hacksaws? In the derby I considered him as a starter, I consider him an important player because he is unpredictable. His ability to wander without leaving references is very important. When training, a coach thinks about all aspects, offensive, defensive and takes into account balance.”
“Pineto pitfalls? I don’t think about the opponents, I’m very focused on trying to improve our boys, I try to pass on to them what they taught me many years ago. Us 15 points, them 14? It’s a direct clash between two teams who want to understand which championship to play. I know the Pineto coach, he wants to play proactive football, it won’t be easy for us but I ask the team to believe in it, to think about their abilities, to have the humility to want to improve game after game. The Italian Cup match was poorly evaluated, there were other coaches. We have focused on what Pineto is since Tisci’s arrival.”
“We want to maintain a precise identity but the interpreters can change. I will try to play with players who have the possibility of changing the result. We always played with many offensive players with Ternana despite playing a defensive game thanks to the opponent. For the next choices I will try to put offensive players because the play in football makes the difference. Sylla will be one of the most eligible to play as a starter. This team needs a finisher and one who fills the area. I expect it to be important for this match. We have to improve in the dribbling phase and go with more men inside the area
