Serie A on the field at 19:30 with Fiorentina-Verona, Parma-Bologna, Udinese-Sampdoria and Cagliari-Lecce
THE EVIDENCE OF THE MATCH
Verona arrives and Fiorentina wants to try to close the salvation talk. '' We respect our opponents who are doing a good championship and a great job, it will be a difficult game. But we have to think about ourselves and make a great performance, '' Beppe Iachini told club channels.
The purple coach's recommendation concerns in particular the attackers given the difficulty in the goal area. '' Right now it is there that we have to make an impact. We could have had more points, unfortunately we missed a few goals. '' This is exactly what Iachini asks for, more precision and concreteness and a pinch of luck. '' Playing at home we are missing the fans. We will have to be good at playing a match and possibly, as we are one of the teams that pulls the most on goal, we hope to have some luck and be more precise: in the last five games we have hit as many stakes '' .
He will wait for the finish to decide, but barring unforeseen circumstances Ribéry will be there for the sixth game in a row. Franck trains and is doing well. If the recoveries are confirmed as positive as it has been so far, it is difficult to keep him out '' admitted Iachini therefore attempted to rely again on the 37 year old French champion, while it is a duel for two places between the Church (back from a disappointing test with Cagliari), Cutrone, Vlahovic and Sottil. Pezzell returns in defense while Duncan is disqualified, Benassi is injured and Castrovilli is injured and puts the midfield in difficulty. In Verona observed special Amrabat purchased by the Viola in January for over 20 million and left until the end of the season on loan to the Venetians, and Juric for some time among the coaches close to Fiorentina.
Lecce in Sardinia to play the season . And Cagliari, however, that does not want to let go. First for a (remote) European possibility. Second to get a nice final placement that would improve maybe the ninth place of Allegri's times. At the level of motivation the Apulians are favored. But Zenga does not agree: "When you have an absolute duty to respect the fans, the shirt and yourself - he said at the press conference on the eve - there is no need to make great motivational speeches to the players: the work that we play on the field every day. It is true that Lecce is played a lot, but for us there are seven games (and twenty-one points): we have a duty to do our best. If we respect ourselves and the others we can play a good game. Lecce he has always given everyone a hard time, even at Atalanta in 7 to 2 as they were tied in the interval. " Zenga specializes in training in the heat due to his previous experience in the Middle East championships. "In reality, the situation does not change much - he explained - the problem with these close encounters is that for one problem, you risk skipping two or three games". A thought to the opposing coach Fabio Liverani, who was his pupil: "I had him at Palermo - said Zenga - but he was injured and I only saw him play for eight minutes. He had his head as a coach ever since. I like him because after a difficult start he recovered well. He is tenacious. "
"I believe that the team has an increasingly precise identity and basically it also has different solutions. We do not always face matches in the same way, we have a plan B and also a plan C. We are able, more and more, to interpret the type of the game, the moment of the game, also in relation to the characteristics of the players that I choose to play from time to time. With these little great awarenesss that we have created, then the seven games become even more of the opportunities ": he said Udinese coach Luca Gotti on the eve of the internal match against Sampdoria . "This is the first that arrives at seven o'clock - added the coach -: I expect a match similar to that with Genoa, even if the structure of Sampdoria is profoundly different. Change the game system, as they are positioned on the field. But I think of a team other than the one that faced Atalanta, who tried to pick it up very high and I think they will have a prudent, prudent and aggressive attitude at the same time ". Gotti fears that Quagliarella will return to the pitch from the first minute: "He is a great player, the top scorer of last year. But we know that Sampdoria has several players like him who are able to make a difference. From our side It is extremely pleasant to have recruited a large number of players - concluded the Friulian coach -: beyond being able to afford the rotations that a championship with these times forces you to do, I am looking to the future. It had never happened to anyone to play 12 games in such a short time, I am looking at what other teams are doing and the type of performances that follow and I draw my thoughts ".
