COACH DI FRANCESCO'S PRE-MATCH PRESS CONFERENCE

On the eve of the next league match, which will see Venezia face Como at the “Giuseppe Sinigaglia” Stadium" tomorrow at 3:00 PM, the arancioneroverde coach Eusebio Di Francesco analyzed the team's current form and their opponent in a press conference.

Eusebio Di Francesco
"I consider Como a team with the value of a top club, both for the project they are building and for the quality of the players they have acquired and the prospects they have. Fàbregas is a coach with very clear ideas, and together with the club, he has built a group with a strong identity, selecting players perfectly suited to his characteristics and playing philosophy. It is a team made up of young but mature players who have the attitude and mentality of a great team.

In training this week, I have seen excellent things from the boys, even in the final twenty meters; all that is missing is that little spark to translate these plays into matches. The boys also need to let themselves go because the weight of the match and the points at stake can be felt, and it is crucial to free themselves from fear by daring. Those who have certain qualities, such as dribbling or one-on-one situations, must express them on the field because they are part of football. The team is growing; even in Bergamo, we created important chances, but now we need to be more clinical because, at this moment, that can make the difference.

The attack is working well, both in defensive duties and in creating dangerous opportunities. What’s missing is only the finishing touch, the ability to turn opportunities into goals, and for this, we must keep believing, insisting with determination and conviction in front of goal.

This team is just one small step away from making the leap in quality. The boys must believe in it, as must the entire environment, starting with this match, which is the most important one at this moment. It is a crucial game to give continuity to our results and bring home valuable points for our final goal. In Como, we will have to take the field with conviction and humility, aware that we are facing a team capable of putting anyone in difficulty."
