11.00 – Alessandro’s press conference begins Nesta
Nesta, how did the idea for the retreat come about?
“It was born during the retreat and we decided on it together. Something that can be useful, we’ll see”
What match will that be against Roma?
“It’s an important match just for the standings regardless of who we face. We have to give a signal to the rankings. We will need to be clear-headed because victory would give us a lot.”
Do you feel at risk after the latest results?
“I do my job and I will sell my life dearly to try to recover. The form we will use? Sometimes I make choices based on some unavailability. It also depends on the period, when we are all one hundred percent we will see if we will change”
There is a lot of skepticism around his team. Do you also think the criticisms are exaggerated?
“I don’t look at social media, the press office sends me something. We must only think about victory.”
What team is Juric’s Roma?
“We studied them, they are a team that presses hard and they have their own identity. Ivan Juric is a great coach, I like him a lot. Pills? You could already see in Spring that he was strong. He’s a talent, these young people must now confirm themselves at these levels”
What did Adriano Galliani tell you ahead of this match?
“He had lunch with us, he told us that we need to wake up in a positive way”
Will you be able to recover some of the injured players?
“Let’s get Birindelli back, Ciurria is fine and let’s see whether to bring him to the bench or not. He’s doing better. Sensi and Gagliardini, however, are out, Mota is recovered. Daniel Maldini’s growth? He’s growing a lot, I’m happy that he’s going to Italy because I think he’s a special player. Turati is our starter, Pizzignacco will become one in a few years.”
The referee will be Federico La Penna from Roma 1. What do you think about it?
“Maybe he’s from Lazio (laughs). Apart from jokes, I don’t think about these dynamics.”
