23.28 – The press conference begins
Unlocked, checked and then managed. Is this the first victory as a great team?
“From a management point of view, yes, because we didn’t suffer from Venezia who played a good first half. After the 2-0 we didn’t let our guard down. After two defeats, reacting isn’t easy but we did well. After the defeats in the cup we have always managed to bring out our character in the league and I really like this because with the Champions League we have to be able to grow. Excellent game, goals and assists with the substitutes, Ndoye coming into his own… In short, a positive game.” .
How is De Silvestri? Is he now considered a beneficial owner?
“De Silvestri is part of the three low wingers of this team: he trains hard, he is a serious professional, and he is performing as the coach wants. That’s why he plays with his teammates. I’m happy because every time he comes called into action he manages to perform. I think it’s just a bad blow to the ankle. Today I also underline how Holm came in: I really liked that role, they play it and at the moment I can only congratulate him to a player like De Silvestri”.
How much does the team’s level of maturity change from victories like this?
“We certainly gain because by scoring goals we unlock many boxes. What leaves me very happy is the management of the match but above all the reaction to the defeat in the Champions League: knowing how to react is a really important factor. It wasn’t easy for us because against Lille we hoped to succeed to make the match ours and we were disappointed, but we also had the ability to shift focus as we did today. Furthermore, the matches become our training sessions, both for us on the staff and for the boys.”
