Fiorentina, Prandelli on the eve of Verona

Prandelli, the eve of Verona

“We have to give continuity, the other night we played a good game, against a very formidable team. The spirit, the attitude, the desire to be in the game, there was a good atmosphere and good energy, which we must also tomorrow. We didn’t want to lose against Sassuolo, we wanted to fight for every ball. When we took the ball we had good opportunities: we have to continue like this“.

Prandelli in defense of three men

“When reviewing the training sessions and the matches, there were uncertainties reaching four. I wanted to remove alibis from the team and they responded to me in an important way. We always talk about a game system, a defensive phase: strategies that each team obtains during the game. I am not ashamed to defend a difficult outcome or situation.. Soccer has moved toward the ephemeral spectacle, but in doing so, many teams move toward relegation. The results count now, tomorrow I absolutely want to find the energy of the other night“.

Prandelli and the attack: Vlahovic, Callejon and Ribery

Vlahovic is a 20-year-old boy and if he takes responsibility for taking a penalty, it means that he has the attributes: I’m happy with him because he wants to improve and he knows he can do it. He must continue like this, when he cannot finish he must know how to work with the team. We are working with him in this regard. I arrived and found three good forwards, I can’t blame Cutrone and Kouame for anything too for the commitment to work. Right now I think he may be the advice I mean. Cutrone is perhaps further ahead in terms of construction, but I spoke with Vlahovic and suggested things that can be done to improve. The goal is a big problem for the forwards, I hope it is already unlocked ” Callejon is a very serious professional. It is important to us. He’s recovering, he’s pretty good. If Ribery had come out, he would have come in. His problem is not paper, even if I don’t see him as fifth. If I had to play, the midfield would have to be organized differently. “ Ribéry? In each team there are 2-3 superior players, the others work to get the ball to him. In the last race he never veered to the left. We want him to become a leader when he catches the ball, with his times and plays he can help us in a central position ”.

Prandelli, the words about Verona

“Hellas worries many teams and it worries us too. It is a team that has fully embraced the ideas of its coach. They risk something, but they are brash and vertical to hurt their opponents. Mentality that I like, they work a lot physically in the team “. week. Juric got into the heads of the players. The future of football will have to focus on this mentality. They play the same way at home and outside. We will have to be careful with their counterattacks, we will have to fight ball for ball“.

Prandelli su Amrabat, Pulgar and Milenkovic

“Amrabat, I would never want to see it without the characteristics that it has. Every player has to improve the aspects that he does not know tactically. Now I don’t create much annoyance, I keep it that way. Thumb? I see him with another midfielder: of a mezzala I see it worse. Milenkovic? The day they are convinced, we can also play with two very strong centrals. I have four good ones. At this time we have decided otherwise. Game systems do not have much meaning, they must be applied in the right way. They play four in the national team, I don’t see why they can’t do it in Italy. In any case, now I don’t want to force my hand. Venuti is the only one I’ve given a nickname. I call it jorgensen, and this tells you everything… ”.
