On the eve of the Day 8 of Serie A Enilive 2024/25, when Venezia will face Atalanta at Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo, tomorrow at 15:00 CEST, the arancioneroverdi coach Eusebio Di Francesco analyzed the team's situation and the opponent.

“The team has trained really well over the past few days. We've worked a lot on what needed improvement, and I’ve seen in the players the desire to rebalance those aspects that have been missing in our recent matches. However, we must always start with performance and focus: if the opponents are better than us, we’ll congratulate them, but what we absolutely need to avoid is “hurting ourselves.

The players are doing well and no one has had any particular problems, but I want to emphasize that it’s not just the starters who are important, but also those who come on during the game. We need to grow in this area, as it can make the difference.

I know coach Gasperini well and the mentality he has instilled in his Atalanta, a solid team and the most aggressive in the league.

This week I was a guest at a fan club, where I felt great passion, warmth, and a strong desire to support us. Tomorrow's sold-out at the Penzo is a source of pride, but now it’s up to us to inspire our fantastic fans, who I hope will turn the stadium into a bedlam and support us for the entire game."

MISTER DI FRANCESCO: TOMORROW WE WANT TO DRAG OUR FANS. THE STADIUM MUST BE BEDLAM.
