At the end of the match lost against Napoli, the Verona coach Paolo Zanetti will speak in the conference room of the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium to answer questions from the press. On Tuttonapoli.net, as usual, the live text of the press conference.
11.27pm – The press conference begins.
Could more have been done or were the values objectively very different? “We can always do more, this is out of the question. Certainly in the situations that we managed to create against a team that won today more on its merits than on our demerits. A team that is physically well, that has confidence, that he has great quality and that showed why he is at the top of the table. In some situations in the first half we had to try to score a goal to stay in the game. The second goal we conceded was beautiful. instead, we didn’t have the strength to restart with situations more qualitative also thanks to the opponents who raised the pace and forced us into our area for most of the time”.
Do you bring home the character of the team? “Absolutely, those who know our journey know that in other times in this type of match we probably went home with broken bones. Because we didn’t have this team spirit and this desire to suffer together. We take a defeat and we, on principle, are not never happy when we lose, but the boys gave everything, they suffered together. Now let’s put the defeat aside and look forward to the next match with seriousness and great dedication, continuing the path we have undertaken in these last matches.”
On Pharaohs and Tengstedt: “For Faraoni it was perhaps the most difficult match against a difficult opponent. I chose him not to give him a gift but because I still consider him a footballer of a certain level, today he demonstrated it. Tengstedt has accustomed us to being more precise, but not it means nothing. We should have been more cynical, given that Napoli deserved to win.”
-Aren’t you worried about the market? “There is the possibility that it will happen, there is no need to be afraid otherwise it is already over. My predecessor had worse things than me and he did it, I hold him up as an example. We could have had better results if we had had this spirit We had to work to consolidate the group. We had to hit rock bottom, we hope not to touch it up. There will have to be some arrivals, who will have to be helped by the guys who remain.”
More goals conceded, eighth match without a goal, what scares you most? “Neither of them scares me, today we faced a very strong team. We conceded too many goals but we also faced Inter and Atalanta. Today it was difficult to score and create chances. To win you have to score goals, this team knows how to do it, the the important thing is that he doesn’t lose confidence even in these difficult races.”
What impression did Napoli make on you? “He is absolutely at the level of Spalletti’s Napoli, he has confidence and believes in what he does. The manager’s mentality can be seen and I believe he will fight for the scudetto. I have the same feelings as when I gave the interviews about Napoli winning the scudetto “.
11.36pm – The conference ends.
