5.34pm – Vanoli’s press conference begins

It was important to interrupt the trend of defeats: how do you welcome this draw?
“There is regret, we wanted another result. The positive thing is that we looked for him at all costs, in some matches we missed him. And you also have to be careful that the joke doesn’t happen…Today I saw a step in after you”

Did the surreal atmosphere in the stadium affect you a bit?
“No, I have accustomed the players to being focused on the pitch. The fans have to support us, now they have to be even closer to us and I know they will do so”

A judgment on Njie
“He was good at coming in like this, he has quality. Whoever came in gave more to try to win. He must live it with joy, he has a future but he must understand how to be a footballer”

The fans cheered her…
“They have always been close to me, but I would like them to be close to the team that needs them. There are still six games left in the first round, we have to accelerate”

Was there a lack of precision in your shots?
“When you go through these periods, you lack clarity. But whoever came in wanted to try to win. Even the moment leads you to be of little quality, you’re a bit frenetic. Lazaro was a bit too short to break through…Now we have another evolution compared to the beginning of the season. The important thing is to shoot, our players have quality.”

A comment on set goals: was Vlasic marking Djuric?
“It wasn’t studied, but we worked in the area. The second line had to be blocked, in which case the man in front of Vlasic could take it. Height makes the difference, but Vlasic did what he had to do”

Again on Njie, he entered with a malice that whoever started the challenge didn’t have…
“He must not hold back, he must just have fun. I feel sorry when young people are attacked because they make mistakes, Njie must keep a smile on his face and must understand how to become a player. He has shown quality in one-on-one situations, he is a player who has different characteristics. There he helped us access it, he did well”

How can Njie fit into a possible starting eleven?
“All the players in the squad can play from the first minute. Whether he starts or comes on, he must always give us this. He was good but Vojvoda also came on very well. We are working on new mechanisms and we have to work on them”

How did you see Gineitis and Pedersen?
“I like Pedersen’s resourcefulness, he has the running characteristics of Bellanova and Vlasic sends him well into space. We did less well on the left, even Gineitis never found the space to attack. He and Ricci did better with the double midfielder, it’s a solution that can be thought of”

Were you scared at the start of the first half?
“It comes from the period we are going through. When the results arrive you play with a free mind, now you would like to do and you are too frenetic. When you have a free head, you also score in the top corner…But these periods can only make us grow “
