“Stefano Pioli spoke of a match with Zhytomyrians”, – WRITE: Sport.ua
The first meeting between the clubs ended with a confident victory for the Italians – 3: 0.
“I will change the composition slightly. In the game with “Caliary” (1: 1) I chose stability, but the match with “Polissya” will be the third match in a week, so I will have to consider it. I can confidently say that our development will definitely not change, because it is fundamental to win every match.
Everything is fine with Jaco. Last week he had a few minor problems, but he was ready to play. He was well prepared and will play tomorrow to the attacker’s position.
There are many strong teams in the conference league, and it is normal that the European tournament is our goal, but it should not be a burden, but on the contrary – an additional incentive. Let’s do everything to reach the goal.
We have many young Italian guys, and in the team it matters. We are very cohesive even outside the field, which is important. I chose Fiorentine, because it was always my dream, and the project convinced me. As for the national team – let’s look later, it would certainly be pleased.
Transfer? It is unclear why the market should be closed on September 1, when several official matches have already been played, although the championship ended at the end of May. This complicates the job because you train one team, and in the last 15 days it changes to 5-6 players. This means almost zero work. We, coaches, have been talking about it for a long time, but there are situations that we do not control, so we must adapt.
In general, it is not time to talk about transfers. Now it’s time to talk about Polissya, because tomorrow we need to play a decisive match to get a voucher in the European Cup.
Does the warehouse be enough? I will be clear: if you can raise the level, we will be ready if we find more functional players – we will do it. But the brothers to take – I do not see. I don’t want a long bench. I think something else can happen these days.
Although we won the first game, there is no feeling that everything is decided. There should be no risk because we played only the first half, and football is unpredictable. Yes, we have a good advantage and know the opponent better, but they also know us and probably change something. We have a qualification in our hands, but we need to hold it firmly.
Changes in opponent’s tactics? They have a good trainer, in the first match we shot their draws from the beginning. In the second game you need to be careful, because they will change something – not so much a system as additional solutions. It is very interesting to play in Europe, to meet different coaches, because there is always an opportunity to learn something. The results in the HHP show that we are not ahead, no one can be underestimated.
Playing in this T -shirt is always beautiful, and in the European arena – special pride. In the second match there will be another game, we come from the score 0-0 and play to win and do what we prepared, ”Pioli said.
