THE EVE
Palladino: against Torino it will be a match of duels -
"I know Ivan Juric very well, he is very good at making you play badly and tomorrow it will be a difficult, intense and dueling match". This is how Raffaele Palladino presents his Monza's away match at Torino tomorrow afternoon. "We will play borderline, at the slightest mistake we will be able to go ahead or behind", continues the Monza coach. "We need to be concrete and not use foil, knowing that they will be very physical. We will have to be bold", explains Palladino again. After the tensions of the previous meetings with the Granata, Palladino adds: "My relationship with Juric has not changed. If I do this job it is also partly thanks to him, in Genoa and Crotone he involved me in technical-tactical situations".
Juric "Toro without pressure, months ago I saw black"
- "Months ago I saw black after the first nine games, we are in a ranking position that I never expected: we must not have pressure, but live it well": thus the Turin coach , Ivan Juric, presents the match against Monza, a fundamental stage in the race for Europe. "They are a team with a mix of old and young talents, then there is Palladino who trains them very well - continues the Croatian in the press conference - and they play good football: if they are ahead of us, it means they have done better". And on the formation choices: "I have to evaluate the national teams, Buongiorno also suffered a blow to the shoulder and we'll see how he is - concludes Juric - then there are more options up front: everyone must make themselves available".
Gilardino: Messias can make the difference
- Alberto Gilardino makes a concept clear for today's match when Genoa at Ferraris faces Frosinone to try to put a big mortgage on salvation. "I want a lot of heart, a lot of head and a lot of legs from the team." Then he looks at Eusebio Di Francesco's team: "They have a very specific philosophy and a consolidated identity over the course of the championship. There are players who can play in the front three or in the two in a 3-4-2-1. They have wingers of qualities like Lirola, Zortea, Valeri and Marchizza. It's a well-built team and has achieved excellent results as it demonstrated in the first round while in the last period it had some more problems. However, we must think, in front of our people, to a match of great attention, clarity and patience, trying to take advantage of the opportunities we will have to create." The coach is thinking of the 3-4-1-2 formation with Messias in the attacking midfield: "He is one of those players who can and must certainly shift the balance. I expect a lot from him, regardless of the role he will occupy on the pitch. However, I know that He, like Gudmundsson, are players with great talent and have the chance to make a difference." We return to the field after commitments with the national teams and Gilardino can count on the enthusiasm of Retegui and Gudmundsson who scored with their respective national teams: "From this point of view it's very nice and gratifying. I'm also happy that Malinovskyi played good parts of matches, then I'm happy for Gudmundsson who played two important matches. It's nice to see Retegui score two goals for the national team, which is no small feat. He must maintain this mental state to finish this season in the best possible way. Vasquez also has played a lot and Haps came back to play 90 minutes. He too can help us tomorrow."
