“We are approaching the game with maximum energy and enthusiasm. We have done everything we prepared, the team worked well. We are ready. But only the game on the football field will be crucial.
Polissya has played more official matches? We should not think that this is the advantage of the opponent and should not have that mood. We are feeling well and we think about this game since July. We have five substitutions, we only work for 40 days, but this is enough to have ideas and our own style of play. We have to realize it with strength and conviction.
Coach Polissya said we can reach the finals of the conference League? Rotan is a cunning coach. Everyone has a strategy, he is a good coach, and he has a good team. They are balanced, have quality, among the starting composition of as many as seven players who play the left leg. But we think about our own progress and to go through this round. It will be a difficult game, but we are ready. It is normal that you will have to overcome difficulties together.
My project is formed through the cooperation of the club and the coaching staff. We want to increase the technical level and our ambitions. It takes time, we work well, and the club has kept key players – where HEA, Dodo, Kin, Mandragora and others. We need to raise the level: if this is a transfer window – well, if not – we will do it later. This path requires energy and motivation.
I want to give the trophy David Astor. I do not want to be banal, but Davide is always with me, and now even more. It would be a dream, but first you need to play and grow as a team. I found the team, ready to work, now you need to bring it on the field.
Additional work on motivation? No, we don’t need it. Otherwise, it would mean that everything is very bad, and it’s not. From the very beginning of the meeting, we clearly held this date in our heads. We worked on game ideas and balance, not motivation. The conference league is a chance to prove our value and play in Europe, which is always important. If we want to grow, we must stay in European Cups with ambitions, and our Europe is now a conference league.
The season has not yet begun. We are strong on paper, but there is a Crystal Pelas and German clubs. In any case, I am sure that we will play well against Polesie. We have a great desire to win and spend an incredible season, “Pioli said.
Earlier, Rotan’s channel commented on the future confrontation with Fiorentina.
