…PREPARATION

We start again with awareness and not thinking, if you think too much you always find an excuse not to do, if you don't think you find an excuse to do. We started again with our heads down, working on the good things we did and thinking that by giving 180% we could achieve a positive result. Lovric and Thauvin will work to try to recover them. I predicted that Inter would arrive and respect us, Roma will do the same.

…ROMA

With Mourinho the team was more direct, had more defensive density, with De Rossi they dribbled more, played more patterns. I expect a relative turnover despite the fact that they have an important match in the cup against Milan and then a direct clash against Bologna. I expect turnover but not exasperation.

…TEAM UPDATE

It's an option when we play 3-4-2-1. Whoever has to work overtime will do it and rest afterwards. Davis is not available, Success is fine, he had a great week, I saw him very well, Brenner spent ten days at home and we have recreated a program to have him back with Verona, he will not be called up.

…WINNING

As do the players of the teams they want to face. Real Madrid wins in the Champions League, then in La Liga, mentality makes the difference and we must remain attached to the event being played. There is nothing more beautiful than winning and trying to work to continue winning.

…PREPARATION

I plan to hear how they are doing and protect them from some ailment that in the past forced us to do without them. We come from two intense matches from a physical and mental point of view, someone has some ailments and I will have to take them into account. The difference is not made by the individual player, but by the attitude of the team, we have in our eyes both the victory against Lazio and Milan, but also the match in Lecce. We must not repeat Lecce's attitude.

…ABRAHAM

Let's see, he's getting better and better. He always trains continuously. From the point of view of release, strength, sprint, I see it very well. In managing the workload, obviously after 10 months he loses clarity and we must accompany him to the best psycho-athletic condition on the pitch and get him back to 100%.

…UDINESE

We have two guys on the staff, the Prof and the match analyst who worked for 10 years in Udine, it's not enough to know them to have that certainty of putting in a three-point performance. We know what environment we will find and what importance this match has for them, they are a strong and physical team, stronger than their ranking, we respect the value of our opponents.
