…PREPARATION

The team knows what it has to do perfectly, we start by achieving the maximum individual and team performance. We worked hard during the week also trying to recover our mental energy. We know the pitfalls of the match, we are playing against a strong team with a good coach who did important things. We know the pressure they bring, it's one of their qualities but we know how to do it too, we must have our focus in attitude and mental and physical stability. The attention must be maximum. From this point of view we have prepared ourselves and the team knows it.

…OPPONENT

I read a few words from the coach and I know that a great job has been done, then in the championships there are steps that lead you to achieve something more. The match they played against Bologna was highly competitive, tomorrow we have to guess the approach to the race trying not to make any mistakes in terms of determination. We can't stay low, because in the last 30 metres the best qualities of the opponents come out, it's clear that it's not easy for the whole 90 minutes, we need to have a proactive attitude, when these teams take control of the game it becomes difficult to contain them. Juric is a coach I respect and respect, we've met many times, he started from the bottom and won championships, he's done an extraordinary job here, it's undeniable.

…DEFENSIVE PHASE

In football today I don't like to talk about defensive stability because the whole team runs and works, then there are the duels, the physicality, many things that at this point lead to the fact that a good performance is not enough, something is not ordinary but extraordinary.

PREPARATION

In the last match we did very well, a great performance. Verona are not safe, they have great enthusiasm and it showed against Fiorentina. It will be difficult as always.

…VERONA

They play with great enthusiasm and it shows, it is the basis of their performances regardless of the formation. They play vertically and with rhythm.

…TACTICAL CHANGES

I didn't suffer from it, I was curious to do other things. In Milan I liked our 4-2-3-1, the first half was better for tactical interpretation. These are all things that can be done in the future, if you have great attackers it's not a problem or if you don't have the arms you play with four. I feel enriched because I can use all the formations without problems.

…INJURY REPORT

It's a serious situation. Zapata has pain in her side, I think it's difficult for her to be there. And Buongiorno also has some discomfort in her adductor: the ultrasound showed nothing, we need to evaluate it.
