…ABOUT MATCH

For the match against Cagliari we are positive, but very humble. We know that we have done something extraordinary, writing a small page of history, but it will be nothing if we don't get a result tomorrow. Winning is a habit, we're on the road to learning it, we know that tomorrow it's important to come out with points, then how many will depend on the attitude of the boys tomorrow but I'm sure they'll have the right attitude.

…OUR PERFORMANCE

If we focus on the result we think about the past, with Sassuolo for example we interpreted the match in a similar way. We more or less always have the same line of attack, it can vary by a few metres but we always look for space, the vertical. We certainly have to improve the possession phase, we will have that against Cagliari but I think we also saw a lot of possession in the match against Monza, where we played the game. Beating the big teams and not the small ones has no explanation, the data says that we are the team with less possession, but if you go and watch all the games they have seen different readings, but with a similar attitude.

…IDENTITY

If we go backwards or forwards in time, every match is difficult and decisive. We will play as Udinese, which must be equivalent to bringing home points. When we lose our identity, however, we struggle.

…I'M STAYING

After Lazio there was a need for an electric shock, I told the team that I would resign, the team said it wasn't right and we had all fought together to stay in Serie A so all together we continue to fight, to suffer for this difficult but not impossible mission. I'm fine, few coaches have had such support from the boys and it seems right to be at their side. The fans are magnificent, above all.

…UDINESE

Very difficult but we are not desperate, we will do our utmost to bring home a positive result. They are compact, they have euphoria, they play vertically and they are healthy.

…DIFFICULTIES

We don't hit the target, we miss some goals and due to too much desire to do things we lose our structure.
