“The mentality I want to convey is to play to win, regardless of the standings” UDINE (ITALPRESS) – “We are focused and motivated. We look for courage, but the team has always had it.” Gabriele Cioffi encourages his team and ensures that the group has a great desire for redemption, despite the Olimpico’s match against Lazio on Monday not being the easiest. “The team messed up one half of the match against Genoa, they played the second well despite being with ten men – underlined the Juventus coach -. Against Salernitana the second half was conditioned by naivety, but the team still showed to be present despite the numerical inferiority. The mistakes made were not underestimated, but we are fine and we will confirm this on Monday.”
An important return, in view of this final rush, is that of Pereyra “who has trained all week. Tomorrow I will speak with him and we will understand better how he is. He has particular characteristics, he is a catalyst for the team and motivates them. “absence more in terms of thinking and reading, he is on the way back and we will embrace him again. I’m not saying that whoever played in his place did badly, he just has different qualities.” Cioffi, however, will have to do without Walace due to disqualification: “It’s a heavy absence, but I’m convinced that whoever replaces him will have a great game. Zarraga is an option, everything depends on how much and where it is possible to use the Tucu”. For the only starter, so there are still some doubts: “With Genoa I saw Kristensen in confusion, sometimes it’s good for a young player to sit on the bench, the famous ‘woodwork cure’ – admitted Cioffi -. I seen well during the week, conscious. I’ll sleep on it another night and then I’ll make the decision. Kristensen comes from a different league with different pressures, different training standards and lifestyle habits.” Finally, on the Biancocelesti the Udinese coach concluded: “An opponent with players who have been together for three years, play by heart and have constant training. Whoever takes the field are champions, their absences are relative. The matches go we’ve all won, either to get to the top or to get away from the bottom. The mentality I want to convey is to play to win, regardless of the situation in the standings which doesn’t belong to us and which we want to get out of immediately.” – Photo: Ipa Agency – (ITALPRESS). xd6/ari/red 09-Mar-24 15:08 .
