Meeting Highlights…INJURY REPORT
Calafiori and Lucumì? They are both very well and deserve to play. We can only start with 11 men, they are both two professionals who are not happy to start from the bench but know they can make the difference even during the match in progress. Urbanski has often played in a role that is not his, he is a boy who feels the game and who is improving: he has been able to earn the respect of his teammates day after day.
…MY FUTURE
I'm not just a professional, I'm also a human being. I don't think I deserve all this warmth, but I'm grateful to all these people. My emotions also influence the decisions I make...
…VERONA
Verona are in form, I have great respect for Baroni who I consider a great coach. They are in a good moment after the draw with Juventus and I have never seen a team really put them in difficulty. We will have to be good at forcing them to lower themselves and be careful about counterattacks: I think it will be a good match. The impression you get from the outside is that after the transfer window they have become more solid and dangerous, we have to give 200%.

Marco Baroni
Manager on Hellas Verona…BOLOGNA
It's a healthy team that runs, but we know that there are no easy games, we should try to find a great performance and produce some ideas, only in this way can we get a result against this Bologna team.
…ZIRKZEE
He is a player of great quality, he is very well, he is growing from match to match and is exploding, he knows how to send in, he knows how to finish, he will certainly be an uncomfortable customer but like the rest of Bologna. We worked, it was a short week and we have the obligation to look for points from all sides because we have already left and from here on we should leave as little as possible.
…NEED A WIN
With Juventus it would have been enough to manage the minutes after the goal better, we conceded two avoidable goals, we gave away something that you can't give away if you want to win despite having played well. It's all in there, my attention is focused only on that, we have to win games.
