1.42pm – Vanoli’s press conference begins
How do you arrive at this challenge?
“It’s an important challenge from many aspects. It’s not a positive period for us, it’s the opportunity to show that we can go back to doing important things. I knew that a moment like this could come, it’s also nice to understand how to get out of it”
What did he say to the team to charge them?
“To believe in what we do. Negative periods are part of the journey, a team like ours cannot be perfect also because the mechanisms need to be improved. We need to be balanced, we know that we are facing a great team but to do something important you need courage We have to play with personality.”
You tried it with Milan…
“When you grow in mentality, you always want to do something: sometimes they come out better and sometimes worse, it’s a journey of ups and downs”
How will you use Vlasic?
“Unfortunately, Vlasic was recovered today because yesterday he had a fever. Today is his birthday, we took him by the hair a bit…He’s an important player, it’s up to me to put him in the best conditions. In addition to he idea of the game, there is the quality of the individual and who knows how to jump the man is fundamental. With Lazio, Adams’ goal action came from his feet, but he also knows how to sacrifice himself. He is a person who trains with great intensity, as a great player. It also takes the patience to wait for a boy who has been out for three months, he has the desire but he has to find the best form. I will have to understand how to use him to have our ideas: in the first half against Lazio or in the first half against Lecce, I told the boys to be proud because we need to understand how to develop the final third. We conceded many goals, but I analyzed them and out of 49 opportunities conceded, 16 occurred on defensive transitions and three were goals. I saw City-Inter, the Nerazzurri made three counterattacks that they could have achieved but City didn’t give up.”
All things being equal, who chooses between Adams and Sanabria?
“Adams is someone who makes himself available, he is beautiful and important: since he has been here, he has always put his characteristics at the service of the team. Sanabria also scored in Verona, Adams joined Lazio and scored goals: he is This is the spirit I want. The choices depend on the form, I always hope that my four attackers are well to be able to put me in difficulty.”
How do you explain the latest goals conceded? It’s a significant number…
“They analyse, I have to be good at understanding where to work and understanding the episodes: Masina’s episode in Verona was an individual accident, he missed the ball and it shouldn’t be a drama even if we have to improve in concentration. They gave me Lazio’s goals are annoying, many of them came back slowly and we need to improve on this. We need to perceive the danger more and better, on both occasions against Lazio players scored. We worked on it, it’s something that needs to be improved And also the climbing mechanisms, last year they had man-to-man references. Today we offer more football, but we defended badly in transition and made mistakes in preventive measures. It’s right for a coach to have beliefs, I’m going straight for mine Then I try to understand the characteristics to make my players express themselves better. I know that we have signed two players with personalities like Coco and Maripan who have played little at three, it’s an opportunity for me to reflect.”
Will you go to four?
“In life you can always change…”
How is Vanya?
“Vlasic was good at training with us even if he wasn’t at his best due to fever. Vanja is in the group, he had taken a serious blow and didn’t make it against Lazio. But we are capable and can be recruited”
At what point are you on the path you have in mind?
“A coach is never satisfied, he always seeks perfection. Then you have to analyze things…This team must grow in mentality, try to take a step to understand how victories come. And then you must not get discouraged if something isn’t it’s okay. We’re fragile from this point of view, I’m working on it. I’ve always said that acquiring a mentality is a very long process, these guys have shown that they want to do important things and they’ve done it with great performances the match against Lazio, we were all convinced that we had done better in the second half but it wasn’t my football. In the first half we were slow, but we were a team and if we don’t make that mistake…In the second half I liked whoever took over. , there was a desire to react, but that football wasn’t my idea. I liked the first half, even if we need more determination and more personality to try the plays. This team likes to have the ball at its feet a lot. sometimes we need more depth…It’s nice to grow together with the team. The votes, however, are given at the end of the championship”
Why wasn’t his team in the second half?
“It was too long…We changed the pace, but when we created the 2-1 we had to stay in the game and find our balance to be able to equalize it. We had to be more balanced, then they made it 3-1 and it was no longer there time. But on the squares we could have made it 2-2…Sometimes Sundays are different, I say that you have to be clear-headed to always stay in the game. All of this, however, is part of a journey.”
