Meeting Highlights…FOCUS
Clearly now I dedicate myself body and soul to Empoli. Tomorrow the challenge will count for us as it is a reason for growth for us. I have great respect for Genoa but the emotion is aimed at my team.
…ABOUT MATCH
From this point of view, every match hides difficulties but also opportunities. The management of the match is different for each opponent, the expression of reading and managing a match will take place in a more conscious way as we move forward. We have introduced things that are fundamental for us, the Turin match gave us important indications.
…GENAO
Genoa is a qualitative team that plays organised football. They defend with a low block, they are skilled at counterattacks, I think they did a great job. Mister Gilardino plays practical but fast football, based on the quality of the individuals. It's no coincidence that they have the points they have, we have to take this match to grow further.

Alberto Gilardino
Manager on Genoa…TEAM PERFORMANCE
I have a lot of faith in the boys and in the team. In this month, which has not been easy due to the transfer market, the team has worked very well. These days that we are in training camp, what we want is to go fast. There is great admiration in what they are doing acting as boys in terms of commitment. This is the spirit that we must maintain, it is a feeling that we must carry with us everywhere. We are coming off two victories and to give continuity of results we must raise the mental bar for tomorrow's match. Let's meet a grumpy team that scored four points in the two matches, which has significantly changed its way of playing and we will have to be very ready.
…MATCH EXPECTATION
A match with a very high competitive level because Nicola manages to give spirit and cohesion to the team. It will be a match at a high competitive level and we have the obligation to be ready. We know what match awaits us and we must, as said during the week, shoot our qualities and our creativity out there.
…TACTIC
These are situations that exist within the economy of a match. They are situations that we train and propose. Then based on the opponent or the strategy we are going to look at we exploit. We have many attackers but with the five substitutions everyone must be ready.
