Meeting Highlights…TEAM STATUS
We are aware of our path, also of the difficulty of the match, we are playing against a strong team with important technical values, we are aware of the mistakes made against Genoa as well as in Bergamo, we know that we must not repeat them but we are ready to repeat and achieve a important performance. Our defensive phase is a team one and not just a departmental one. We must expect an opponent who knows how to restart with strength and with great quality. These are matches that live on the episode but I repeat, mainly on the collective performance of the team. All teams struggle to attack lined up defences, the important thing is to get the performance right.
…INJURY REPORT
Duda is recovered, now we have to evaluate, it was a short week. He started again on Tuesday then gradually recovered, he'll be available, let's see from the 1st minute. They have already done it, Duda has always been our starter, Serdar returns, Dani played a good game in the second half too, we also have the Folorunsho option, I have to evaluate but this is part of the interpretation of the match, whoever doesn't start will come in.
…ATTACKING CHOICE
I have doubts, whoever came in did very well on Sunday, these are games that aren't played with eleven men but whoever doesn't start comes in, this is our motto. Bonazzoli is doing very well, even against Atalanta where he scored 60 excellent minutes, but also Swiderski, Noslin, Mitrovic.

Gabriele Cioffi
Manager on Udinese…INJURY REPORT
Lautaro is a generous boy, halfway through training he felt a strain in his quadriceps, he wanted to continue and the inevitable happened. However, I prefer to have guys like that rather than players who park themselves in the infirmary. Davis and Brenner are both recovered and available, Brenner is a little further ahead.
…TEAM SELECTION
If they play on equal terms with different characteristics, Oier is a dribbler, attentive, cleans the exit well, Payero is a boy who brings strength, depth, both are valid options. Then, given the situation we are experiencing, those who don't start know that they will enter. They are starting to live with courage, we are aware of this and we will do so.
…OPPONENT
We have respect for Verona, a team with values, who if they can't express the football they play are very good in the second balls, so we will have to be good in the various moments of the match without losing our strength.
