1.00pm – Good afternoon, friends of TUTTOmercatoWEB! The Empoli coach’s press conference will take place in a few minutes Roberto D’Aversa in view of the difficult match against league leaders Atalanta.
1.15pm – The conference begins.
How did you prepare for the challenge?
“Atalanta are coming from an extraordinary moment, it’s a very difficult match and therefore we must be ready to face a demanding challenge. Gasperini has brought this team to great levels, the regret is facing them a little in plaster. But we are convinced that we can beat them in difficulty. We are not facing a provincial team but a great team.”
Has the lineup already been decided?
“I decide the lineup at the last minute, we have to think about who I have available. There are some returns, we have to consider them and I reserve the right to dissolve them at the last moment”
How are Fazzini and Grassi?
They are two important players, Fazzini trained separately on the first day, then he always worked with us. He will be part of the match but not from the beginning. We missed him, he has important qualities, we hope he can improve his condition. There are evaluations to be made on Grassi, but he is well and is training continuously, he doesn’t have ninety minutes yet.”
