The team never seems to suffer.
“We improve every day, on Monday we won by a landslide but on Tuesday we analyzed it, because it was an excellent match but even there we could have done better in some situations. Tonight we found a worthy opponent, who came here to play an important match: I made eight changes compared to Monday and it didn’t show. Udinese has important players and it showed, my team always remained focused and I’m very satisfied with tonight’s match.”
How important is it to have continuous answers from the team on concentration and malice, given the competition from Atalanta and Napoli?
“We are certainly racing, but other teams are also racing. The two you mentioned first and foremost, but I’m also thinking of Fiorentina, Lazio, Juventus, Bologna, Milan. I always said that the championship would be open and not like the last two, there are pitfalls every day and you have to be good: it’s not easy to recover energy. I always want to have players available, I’m also alternating for that: we have some small problems behind us, we’ve been missing Acerbi and Pavard for a month who are important players. Tonight I asked Bastoni for a sacrifice and he was very good, Bisseck, Darmian and De Vrij are also giving great guarantees.”
Is the exchange between Taremi and Arnautovic instinct or work in training? Who is better between the two on that occasion?
“They were very good, I think there is little of a plan, apart from the management that Taremi has to do which we always tell him. But they were both very good, Taremi did very well and Arnautovic made a great movement. They are international players, I don’t think they surprise me just as the performances of Lautaro, Thuram or Correa don’t surprise me. They must continue like this, knowing that we have many races and they are all important for us.”
