VLAHOVIC – “I liked the whole team. Definitely on the precision, but not just Dusan, we can improve. We are on the third day, we faced a team with strong players. I see him very well, he is the first defender we have. He always tries to help the team, sometimes he scores, sometimes not but I don’t only look at that, but also a lot more. He had a difficult situation to finish, but he is a positive leader. He must continue like this and the team will put him in a position to finish the action”.
CHANGES – “We have many quality players. We did it in parts thanks to Roma. In the second half there was a physical decline of some but we have many strong players. We will see game after game who will deserve to play from the start”.
OBJECTIVE – “Playing at Empoli at my best. Then against PSV. The season is long, the journey is beautiful. When we get to the important month we’ll see. We have a solid group and from game to game we’ll go on the pitch to be competitive”.
DEFENSE – “The positive situation is that we haven’t conceded a goal yet. We have the quality to raise the level of precision. In certain moments that are too frenetic, losing the ball against teams like that becomes more difficult. At times we did well, at times they did well, the match was balanced and in the end the result was fair.”
NICO GONZALEZ – “False nine? I also see him as a winger, he’s played a lot there. We have players who can play many roles. Nico can play on the left, right and up front. Yildiz started in the middle and then on the wing. Then it depends on their form, how we want to play and the opponent we’ll face. False 9 no, he came in as a striker. I also remember a ball on the left side from Andrea, if it had been more precise he’s good with his head. We have a lot of players with different characteristics, who can play multiple roles. He came in as a pure 9, he’s a strong player with his head”.
CONCEPTION – “He came in very well, he trained very little with us but I saw him very well. He likes dribbling, taking on the opponent. He has the quality, he has a good left foot to know when to have the ball and play. In the defensive phase he is very attentive, he will help a lot”.
KOPMEINER – “He and Douglas Luiz have the ability to play as an attacking midfielder. Andrea also did well when he played in that position. Douglas has already done it, McKennie can do it, Fagioli too, let’s see in which position the new players can help the team”.
DOUGLAS LUIZ – “He came in well like the others, he played a high-level game. He played 30 minutes and something, those who started the game also did well. We have a group of talented players, we have to think game by game and I have to understand who is ready to start and who to come on. We have to be competitive from the first to the last minute. Players who play 60 minutes must be decisive, but those who play 30 must also be. Douglas did very well”.
